Me and the misses have decided on these six to start (if you want to claim any of these before I get them cleaned up and posted, message me):

Hummus Indy boots
Snuff trubalance split toe boots
Color 8 Indy boots (I only wear em a few times a year)
Indy 405
Color 8 dovers (makes sense as I haven’t worn them)
Color 8 2160 (displaced by another pair of color 8 balmorals)

She is trying to get me to sell one or both of the whiskey tanker boots and color 4 wingtips boots (says I have too many boots, and they take up too much space). That’s not happening. I may try to get one more boot in the first tranche... Wouldn’t mind selling 10 pair. Now that I have most of models I want in EE or EEE, time to trim...

And they might be what size/width?

And they might be what size/width?

Unfortunately for mass appeal these are all going to be 9.5EE or 9.5EEE in Barrie/Trubalance (10EEE in Aberdeen)

Snuff suede to get bagels from my favorite spot in gentrified LA. If you live here and haven’t tried Belle’s bagels, you must.

Those are phenomenal. One of the best rare shell shoe make ups.

Been after a classic tanker for a while. It's a must have Alden in any stable.

Oddly enough it was the first Preorder I placed last year in May when I hopped aboard the Alden train.

They're final here...
