Same but wear Carmine instead of AE. More travel means a more diversified shoe collection, which I guess isn't bad.

Do Carmina shoes not set off the preTSA detectors?!

Still looking for a nice #8 cap toe boot in a sleek last

Pretty appropriate username lol Im in a similar position. Im hoping for a plaza lasted cap toe, 360 flat welt (antique or black), and double waterlock soles. One can dream...

If they use a steel shank, they do. My Alden and Grant Stone stuff won't make it through TSA PreCheck without removing the shoes. My AE's are OK.

Agreed. Speaking of which, time for a little 8 maintenance......

Here's an 'after' shot.......

Note that the Southern Tier is still half full. Amazing how little effort is required to make shell beautiful again.

Color #8 Unlined Dovers from Yenni. The flat welt is just the absolute best on these, make them so sleek and perfect for a light fall day. Gonna be patina machines.

LWB Antique Welt from Belfast no less. RL Pirate sock, black Levi cords.

picked these up today, couldnt be happier.. a touch snug, hopefully will loosen up a bit after some wear

Gentlemen, you are looking superb all around. Those Grains are amazing. I have seen a sample of Racello Grain but not a shoe before. -Mike
