Alden #8 captoe on Grant. I just couldn't pass up a deal from a local member on these! Great guy and I got myself some great boots! Only worn a couple times and barely creased.

Great looking pair of boots, Sir. Looks highly versatile. I've always wondered about the Grant last but never had an opportunity to try it.

Thank you very much and I am hoping so.

Yes, looking at this picture I was always hesitant about Grant sizing. These work out perfectly at TTS.

Ravello NST

The Ravello and baby blue in your combo looks gorgeous. I happened upon that pairing by accident. Something about the light blue with your Ravello nst's that really makes them pop. Keep doing it Don L.

I like your throwback nst's MrDV. The purple in your socks makes your feet look like your wearing two very stylish eggplants. Love the colour on the shoes. Was it close to the original after restoration? Any other info on them would be a bonus. Thanks.

They look great on you man, glad they went to someone who is really enjoying them! It looks like the fit great on you. I replaced them with a 8E version of the same boot and found that it fits me better. Normally I'm a 8.5D brannock and 8 in barrie.

Black Straight Tip Blucher Oxford. These are due for a restoration soon. Gotta love black shell.

A real gentleman's pair of shoes. Very nice sir.

Thanks again!

That is strange because I measure the same and am the same Barrie size. I am slightly under 8.5 on the Brannock so that could be the difference. But hey...works out for both of us!

Context have a preorder up for #8 Tankers with Commando. Very nice looking.

Fine looking shoe my friend. These were the first of my Alden collection. I think I prefer the darker, brown looking picture indoors. This was my gateway drug to shell. Wear in great health and enjoy watching your daughter grow. It happens all too fast!

In addition to adding to an already incredible collection, you are amassing a fine vintage selection. Keep'em coming MrDV!

The pic doesn't indicate a need. Lovely straight tips J-gold!

I tried a pair of NSTs on the grant and a George boot on plaza this summer at Alden on Madison and Leffot. Both lasts were great! I hope to have one of each down the road.
