This should work quite well as my Shine Box

Looks good. I just got mine in the rustic hickory.

Fantastic as always. I keep saying that my next purchase will be a pair of monks in black or color 8 shell; somehow I always buy something else. Photos like this will keep me on the right path.

nephew,

thank you

ironically enough, i saw that same coney boot posted here a couple days ago. thought it was the same pair

They're slightly different from the Cooney boot. That Shoemart version had an extra row of perfs through the middle of the vamp. I know, subtleties...

Thinking about a pair of suede chukkas for the cold weather. Problem is, which color? Snuff, tan, or brown?

I've been really into my #8 boots lately, wearing a pair just about every day now that it is finally cool around here. Here's a few shots of my regular rotation. These are all 8D Barrie lasted boots. [/URL]

I think these guys started adding signature confirmation to all of their shipments recently. I bought another pair a few weeks back that didn't require a signature, but these did.

Feel very badly for you. I would be devastated.

tiger striping can kind of be seen on these old NST boots I bought (and returned). those were purchased close to a year ago. weird that the NST shoe that arrived today suffers from it too, but both pair of ravello I got last month, albeit an entirely different shade of ravello, do not suffer from it. some might be okay with it and chalk it up to personality of the shoe, but I'm not a fan. the good thing is, shoemart had a pair of whiskey NST still in my size. so they'll get swapped for the ravello and all will be well

I bought ravello boots from TSM about two years ago and they had the same problem. I returned them. IMO they should have been irregulars.

Snuff is the best year 'round color IMO.

Snuff or dark brown. Tan suede is a spring/summer color IMO. Snuff is the best all around IMO.

Agreed.

 

[ReppTiePrepster]

Wow! Hope they work for you... enjoy them often and in great health!

 

[ReppTiePrepster]

^^ never seen before. Outstanding

I think those Cigar full straps look incredible! Nice pickup

I want to say Joe from TSM said they had a pair in 10.5D. I was so awestruck from the ravello NST that it's all a blur...
