Poking my head up again as I don’t get to SF much these days but a work dinner tomorrow means I get to wear some fancy shoes. Decided to with my Leffot 10th Anny ****ey boot. As with much of my shell, these had a bunch of bloom but cleaned up masterfully with a simple wipe and brush. First shot is after wiping/brushing the boot on the right. Second shot is once complete and third is with laces back in……..

My exotics look great on the rack but every time I reach for something, it’s good ole color 8.
Those are beautiful boots, and I, like you am a fan of color 8.

Edit: this is really strange but when I spell out the name of the boot my browser replaces the Coo with ***. As a Black man I think I see what they’re trying to guard against so I appreciate the thought but wow.

Those are fire!

Did anyone catch the current issue of Esquire? Keanu Reeves is shown wearing Aldens. Looks like shell cordovan plain toe boots:

From looking at the photos it looks like color 8 / antique in one and black shell in the other —

edit, nvm, I’m wrong, they’re all the same black shell boot

A lot of the time the stars don't wear their own clothes for photoshoots. They give their measurements and a stylist puts together the outfits. A rare bird like Daniel Day Lewis will wear his own clothes because they won't wear random stuff and they have a comprehensive wardrobe from bespoke suits to casual wear. I wouldn't know if Keanu is wearing his own clothes or not.
