Here is a snap of the bottoms comparing different lasts.

For Barrie I take 10.5D. For modified 11D, and 379x my opinion is 11D fwiw.

Are all three 360 welts, or are one or both of modified/379x 270 welts?

 

[GGMac]

Which order? I’m looking at three different ones from Yenni right now.

I’m not sure if you or Audog saw the AOC-98 reverse earth chamois/antique/commando makeup in production but it seems right up your alley. I may order if Adam has my size.

Dude. I'm speechless.


Mahogany, Amaretto or Ravello, Barrie, commando, eyelets/hooks and flat welt.

I did! But I already have the smooth earth version.....I think I might prefer the reverse earth version to the smooth one slightly, but I can’t justify both!

I bet it’s gonna look great.

Btw FWIW, I’m looking at the following:
1. Color 8 shell Indy on Neocork
2. Color 8 shell LWB antique
3. Snuff suede wingtip boot

The smooth earth model is great...though I agree I may prefer reverse a bit more given a choice. I’ve got the Leffot reverse Navy and need to “justify” these.

Wish I could do the LWB. Almost did the #8 Indy before I saw the boot at Brogue.

If you get that Indy, your collection will be nearly complete. Will you still have purpose in life?

There's always whiskey, ravello, mahogany, cigar, etc . . .

I have smooth earth might need reverse chamois hard to justify both but I may figure out a way. Have to sell some AE first to make room in closet

Used my Alden defender for the first time and I am a fan. Indies just went throw a huge rain storm and came out like a champ.

I have a bottle and I use it on everything. Works great on calf as well.

Question for the community, what are your thoughts on wearing boots 8-9 months out of the year? @sazon had an amazing post last week that were all boots and I've seen many other non-winter/fall boot pic's. Like many, I love boots and like many, I have way too many and would like to get more wear out of them. I'm not worried about the heat as I'm not looking to throw boots on in 90 degrees. Moreso the look. Thoughts?

 

[audog]

Boots all year long get my vote. And yes, even wear them in 90 degree heat. But then I love boots

I’ll wear most of mine all year round. I’m on my feet all day and boots are so damn comfy and they look good “to boot”
