The antique edge shoe is essentially a ranger moc with an additionally eyelet. Both on on the Van last. IMO it's a pretty casual shoe, but wouldn't call 'clunky' given the last it's on.

Thanks-- I'm just not sure how they look styled/on people. All the pics I've found are either of the shoes themselves or just a waist-down or ground level shot. Anyway, thanks for your help. I hate buying/returning but I may have to do that in this case.

Ah, question: Do you even wear them? It's hard for people to say, "Great shoes!" if they never leave the closet.

Right, I was wondering about the laces...

Hi Gents. Here is a photo showing the beautiful character of Color No8 and Cigar Shell Cordovan in natural sunlight with no fancy filters.

Been a while since I last posted a new pair -- couldn't resist new Color 8 plain toe boots!

Those are looking damn good!

I'm about to put in our sizes for an order of Barrie-last Indy boots, which we're doing up in the brand-new Pecan Austin leather that Alden just started using. It's a handsome mid-brown with some pull-up, and will make a great boot.

Details:

• Pecan Austin leather
• Barrie last
• Brass eyelets, no speedhooks
• 270 reverse storm welt
• Natural edges
• White stitching
• Commando sole

Email me (jeremy @ standard and strange dot com) if you want to reserve a pair, or get a non-D width. After I cut the PO tonight/tomorrow morning, I won't be able to add any sizes or widths.
