The short wing style really works for the modified last.

Agreed. I do believe these are your size.

Readying the bolt cutters as we speak.

Poor man’s ravello. Phoenix in vegano tan calf from an unknown tannery. Wonder if these will patina like a veg tan leather.

Toss up between these and the Navy/White Fayetteville shoe in my mind.

Hi all, checking to see if anyone is interested in joining a GMTO for a Shell Short Boot?
So far it seems like wingtip demi-boot has more interest.
I cross-posted at r/gyw the following:



Throwing out feelers for a potential Alden GMTO through https://www.johnstonemtm.com

Specs:
Short-boot: 3-eyelet chukka or 5-6 eyelet demi-boot
Blind eyelets
Wingtip or Norwegian Split-Toe
Clean heel-counters ?
Plaza Last
270-Flat Welt
Mahogany Edges - Single or Double Leather Sole
Rubber heel
Shell Cordovan #8 Leather

Typically 12 commits are needed but they have graciously decreased the required number to 9.


Basically some sort of Frankenstein of these models:

Savvy's back! Photo from last week at a checkup.

Baby savvy was born 9/16, a beautiful little girl. Our birthdays are a day apart, what a blessing. It was a surprise for us and our first! She had us convinced she was a boy and then out came a girl!

Fatherhood has been pretty neat so far

Had a visit to the pediatric cardiologist today. Some concern with baby's heart, and something they saw on a scan at birth, but it all seems to be a false alarm! We have a very happy and active little girl.

Inaugural outing for my Modified Loden (killer) wing boots.
