last 2 days with the cigar lwbs

That is a beautiful shoe. I am putting my order in for a pair in the next couple weeks. Just wish it did not take a year plus to get them in after the order is placed.

I'm keying in on this shoe as my next purchase as well. Absolutely gorgeous in any image posted on here.

A whole year? I'd only looked on shoemart and it said they were out of stock, but a whole flipping year? Maybe I should just size up .5 to the (in-stock) 12 and deal w/ it...?

sorry to be in no way helpful....but I grabbed a pair of these from LS when they came out and they are by far my favorite boot to wear now. They are very comfortable and look quite sharp around the office.

Anyone have any ideas on who stocks similar boot to the LeatherSoul Vanguard boot...looking for cap toe specifically. I would also be interested in buying second hand if someone has a similar boot they might want to sell in 8D (or close size):

Thanks...JT

I understand that Leather Soul has an order of the Indy Ultimate Jumpers coming in - If you like Vanguards, I'm guessing you will like the Ultimate Jumpers, too -
