Let's flash the bat-signal and see if @jpm1 will throw something together for us. No plaza, though. Maybe a nice Hampton? Double leather? Brass?

I literally just looked through the gallery and completely missed that picture.... Yeah, those are super cool.

Does anyone have a pair of plain toe boots with a medallion? I know they exist, but I haven't seen anyone ever post them here. I also can't find a retailer that has them for sale. I know B+M had some for sale some time earlier this year, but they aren't listed on the site anymore.

Thanks. Most definitely plaza. Though for you I will note these are as wide as they make them...11.5EE. (No EEE)

Hey, Gents...

Would appreciate some opinions on the George boot. I've always enjoyed the look of them (I saw a "rock star"--aka street musician--with a similar style boot on when I was a kid), but am concerned about fit.

I cannot wear loafers for the life of me--can't dial in the size/foot sensitivity stuff, yada yada yada. I like a laced shoe so that I can make little adjustments throughout the day/days. Honestly, will probably be a boot only guy at some point in my life because of multiple support points as opposed to shoes... View attachment 1486358

Would this boot be a crapshoot? Does the buckle/strap really offer stability? Or, is this a slip-on with a decoration?

Thanks.

My experience on these is that they fit and feel more like a boot than anything else as well. I have to undo the buckle to get in and out of my pair personally.
