Kinda funny how people sometimes call all shoes bluchers:

Is this not a blucher but a balmoral??

Alden DC has them. Been thinking about getting a pair but I already have a cigar WT boot.

Any experts able to weigh in on which last for the new plantation sole j crew chukka? Looks like Barrie but they don't say and haven't replied to my email. I live outside us so visiting a shop is not an option.

Do you have any photos of just the safari boot (including fit pics?). Sometimes I'm not sure if I should have gone for that instead of the plain toe flex boot in snuff, but I've never seen a pic of them beside on the LS site which make them look amazing.

Will try to take pictures later today of the safari boot.

Another "Seconds" question. I know the seconds list comes out roughly every 2 months. However, recently i asked for a refreshed list just to see what was currently in stock. To my surprise there were additional seconds that weren't on the original system generated list.

I thought the shoemart worked off a shipment from alden roughly every 2 months - how can there be new additionals between lists - if that is the case?

thanks for any thoughts/insights

All of J. Crew's models are on the larger lasts such as Barrie, TruBalance. I'm going to guess this one is no exception.
