I can't remember what thread it's in but the cover model is wearing these high-laced balmoral boots that were later identified as C&J.

Does anyone have that pic or a link to the thread?

Thanks in advance!

Those are nice boots but don't look like C&J. The slightly chiseled toe would suggest EG. Can someone confirm the make and model?

I have that issue. It's C&J, no idea on the model name.

Must be on the 348 then judging from the soft chisel and length of the cap? Looks hot.

I actually think it looks more 337. I recall a balmoral boot on the 337, but I don't think I've ever seen one on the 348.

Yep, that's it. I was just about to post that same picture. I have a pair of C&J on the 360. I really like that last. It's a little more pointy than the 337, and not as chiseled looking as the 348. Almost exclusively a C&J Paris last.

Any idea where to purchase them, and how much they typically cost?
Are they usually only available from C&J Paris?

As an aside, the model is actually quite an interesting chap.
He has lived in Japan for quite a long time, and his spoken Japanese is quite good - he appears as a guest on TV shows from time to time. He also played for an Italian "Serie A" football (that's soccer) club when he was younger.

Hell yeah. Although I'd prefer a little more on the burgundy side.
