@Burzan @madhat do you take the same size as Plaza shoes/boots?

same here, Yenni suggested half down (same as my Barrie size). She mentioned the plaza loafers had been running large. She was spot on, it’s a great fit.

Zip, your boots are looking great and clearly have a nice amount of moisture.

Fantastic tankers V! Hard to go wrong with the NST and cool to see how the last changes them.

Saz, looking great in your corky Indy’s!

Color 8 x Yenni as well! All ready for Spring.

I might be obsessed with Plaza last loafers now, the fit on these is great. Already considering selling my Aberdeen tassels and grabbing a Plaza version.

Some things defy logic. I've got a decent selection of boots available, both 8's and rare birds across the entire rainbow. Yet, I can't stop reaching for these previously owned, faded, nicked-up, scuffed, JCrew cap's........

More proof that Color 8 is King; my 15-year-old 994s:

(Which my orthopedist complimented earlier today...)

You cannot be serious. If I ever get asked about spending $800 on a pair of shoes, I'm showing them this picture. 15 years?????? That is just amazing!!!!

Whiskey saddle NSTs to start the week.

Actually, they'll be 16 soon; I bought them in the spring of 2004.

Curious, how many recrafts?

Curious, how many recrafts?

None so far.

(I was a freelance consultant working out of my home for the first 5 or 6 years I had them, and since then, I've been lucky enough to have a job where I can park a few steps away from my office, so they've been used almost exclusively on carpeted surfaces their entire life.)
