I like the idea of it. I'm not personally a fan of plain toe boots, but I like the shaft in a different material design.

On the fence on the Hampton last as well. I just don't have any experience with it.

That is a really good looking dress boot. I like the shell for the shine on the toe and the Regina for flexibility in the ankle. Very functional.

Hampton has a higher side wall and more room across the top of the vamp. Great choice for those with high insteps

Do you still buy shoes? Haven’t seen you around this way in a while!

No, I don't. Haha. I just enjoy the pairs I have. Got the email from Leffot and I was like "What the..???"

The leffot boot looks great, the issue I have is that it just doesn't adhere to Alden's fundamental style cues. A.E. did the same thing they might as well call it the Alden Falway boot. Alden does what it does well it doesn't need to be EG.

I haven’t bought a pair of shoes or boots in a few months and have been trying to sell off some pairs to thin the herd but when I got that email this evening the Dearborn boots were an insta-kop.

I think these are one of the cooler and more interesting Alden makeups I’ve seen in a long time.

Awesome monks
I hope you don't walk around with the straps sticking out like that! :D

No worry, the real monks will point me out
(some of my superiors are wearing monks and they were get used to it in seminary)
