Love these, one of my favorite pairs.

Likewise.
Plaza is one of my favorite lasts not only from Alden, but across all shoemakers I have in my closet.

Just got a delivery from AoM, Chocco Tankers! Pumped about these!

I’m a Mizuno junkie. Those MP-4s man...and 14s? The Callaway Apex remind me of the MP-69. Total knock-off. But seriously, amazing sticks all around. Are you eyeing the new MP-20 lineup?

Sorry for the non-Alden tangent!

My favorite blades have been the Titleist 712 MB; love the satin finish and the squared, plaza-like toe (had to squeeze in the Alden reference). The new 620 MB looks awfully similar... too old to hit those butter knives with much consistency.

Hahahh, brilliant!

I was going to make the “Titleist is to Plaza as Mizuno is to Barrie” joke but you beat me to the punch!

I've never found topy'd shoes to catch on carpets. They do however eliminate toe drag.

Agreed on both counts.

Trying out some round laces with the rest of the cool kids here... These are from Guarded Goods. A little heavy in the wax but I think I like them.

Some shell and rain today

Thanks guys, I scored these as TSM seconds and they are stamped Leffot but I've never seen them otherwise. They were listed as barrie but are on the Grant last, with commando sole, brown grain with brass hardware. Wish they were 360 welt (my preference) but otherwise a terrific makeup.

I bet those are an upcoming makeup.

Beautiful. Those are AoC's, right? I seem to remember DC's recent runs having a flat welt.
