Congrats tifosi! They look great. How do they fit? I've had mine for a month or so, and they are probably my best fitting shoe/boot. If I was traveling to Europe for a month and could only take one pair of shoes/boots (to walk6-7 hours a day through museums and over cobble stone streets), it would be my color 8 Indys.

Thanks, CEE! They fit great. I put them on when I got how from work and have only walked a couple minutes and they seem comfortable. This my first commando sole and it makes quite a difference. I like it!

Thanks Sazon. These are the Brixtons from Epaulet.

I also pre-ordered LeatherSoul's #8 Pitt boots with antique edge. Not sure when those babies will arrive.

Your Brixtons look great, I wore mine today as well. Easily still my favorite Alden. Heck, it's my favorite piece of footwear I own.

So it's not just me who has to deal with this on a daily basis

We are apparently "...very cute posting pictures of our shoes for our daily show-and-tell"

Yesterday was a killer day at work. In at 7:20, home at 10:45. But when I got home the first thing I did, okay second thing, was the fix that scuff.

Those peeps out there just don't understand...

Cigar Indy day in the city

Lagsun, awesome boot!



I was fortunate to score a pair of these earlier this summer from TSM. Probably my favorite boot.

Trubalance last fits my flat feet and orthotics so well. Not sure why I haven't gotten the Indy in #8 yet! I have it in Cigar and love it.

I was on the NRO waiting list for one and I pulled out to get the boot I'm wearing today, figuring a #8 Indy would be easier to get in the future than a #8 plaza wingtip with all eyelets.

Same here sazon. Gives my C width lowish arch feet a snug, comfortable fit.

Looking forward to wearing my Cigar Indys once it gets a bit colder

With all the talk about color 8 I thought you gentlemen would like to see some pictures on the different shades. We love our #8 at Unipair.

Hi, I think a few of us here are interested in the cordovan PTB in this picture. It's not on your website. Do you have them in stock? Sizes? Pricing? Color? thanks

I actually heard my GF telling her BGF that I was texting "my little friends" on a website devoted to shoes, OMG, and they were talking about a guy who got, wait for it, a scuffed shoe. (Insert maniacal female cackling here). Great job on your shoes sazon! You never know what you might have to do to make money.

"Your little friends." Excellent. I used to know someone who talked that way.

Why do they love infantalizing us? Or, are we, in fact, infantile?

Your signature quote says it all.....

That made me laugh out loud!

Does anyone know where I can find a pair of PTBs in brown calf on the barrie last? I know Brooks Brothers carries a calf PTB but it's on a slimmer last than the barrie. Thanks.

Haven't seen much of the snuff suede indys around here, but I'm really enjoying them.

Augustus, just want to say thanks for showing the boots. They were what I have been looking for. I called the day after you posted these and now have my own pair. Very comfortable , first trubalance shoe for me. seems to be a good last for me so far. thanks again!

How about brown CXL? That is available in multiple locations
