Morning gents,

Its been a while since I've posted. I tidied up a couple of my color 8s last night. I thought I'd share.

Both are about 8 years old. The LHS see more sunlight, as a result they are a shade lighter.

Happy Monday forum pals. Whiskey saddle NSTs came back up in the rotation.

Not sure - these laces were included in the box from the vendor (B+M), along with the standard laces. i am thinking about moving to round laces for most "dressier" boots.

I’ll have to double check my box!

Nice looking patina on those, especially on the toes - are you using any kind of product in your regimen?

Thanks. Nothing that ads color. After brushing I use Collonil neutral. Just a touch to give me something to further brush and buff off for assistance with the shine.

Hey Guys,
I've had a few unexpected expenses arise and I need to raise some funds. Nothing catastrophic just 2 kids are expensive!
I'm thinking about letting a couple rare shell pairs go to a new home. Shoot me a PM if you are interested and your are an 11D in Trubalance & Barrie.

Congrats! I’m still waiting for my first after ~25 years of playing.

Maybe B. Nelson could add some soft spikes threads during a resole... ?
Not sure I can go away from boost and the company of stripes. It's really that good if you haven't tried it

Hey guys, I know this gets brought up from time to time, and has been rehashed many times over, but i can't seem to find a clear answer.

I have a new pair of Alden for Brooks Brothers black cap toe dress shoes, with open blucher style lacing. What last is this shoe on? For reference, the model is 5803.

Thank you in advance.

Anyone know of a source for those commando soles with lugs and thin borders that Alden uses. I've been googling around for a couple days and can't seen to locate any for sale
