A different pair than usually seen here, in fact, I may be the only one here ever to post these. S&S "Stone Crusher" boot.

Looking good Dog and Chippy. Interesting that it’s raining there also today. We have some weather here today as well.

Fair warning, this might be a long post. My 'Sir Walters' landed on Wednesday and these from Larossa shoe repair the very next day. The color was great on these but I wanted new soles and integrated toe taps. They came out very nice.....

The significance of this is that for the first time in who knows how long, for a couple of days, my footwear collection was stable. No outstanding preorders, shoes with Alden for recraft, or cobblers for repairs. It's actually a pretty good feeling as I am truly trying to dial things down a bit.

Well so much for the feeling of stability. I've been thinking for a while about sending my Dearborn's to Alden for recraft. The color is amazing but the edges are crap and there is a section where the calf is separating from the shell. The problem is these are my favorite boots. They are the one boot that I am completely comfortable dressing up with suits. Sending them leaves a hole I simply didn't want to have. Sir Walter fills that gap. As such, the Dearborns are on their way to Alden. Here's a shot with their replacement, the Walters.......

Close inspection of the Walters will reveal mismatched laces. I love the look of Alden's laces, just prefer round. Will decide between the brown AE's or grey one's that came with a boot purchase from a few years back. Lastly, a couple of family shots.....

Have a great weekend gents......

Since I consider this my "home" thread, I got up extra early on Wednesday to go to an offsite meeting. It was dark, so I had to take the pictures in doors... My dog insisted in being in the pictures that day...

I would tap for her to sit on the couch, she would sit, and then when I pulled the camera out again, she would be right back by my feet again...

She's a cutie! (Even if she is a photo-bomber...)

According to Google, there are 25 million sellers, with 335K-485K being "top-rated". So no, I don't think there's a list compiled.

Looks like you are floating!!

I am! It's the strangest thing; whenever I wear these, I actually hover about an inch off the ground. It's taken some getting used to, but I think these soles are going to last a very long time...

Brown suede for the Saturday chores.
