I never thought I would see "valuable" and "baseball card" in the same sentence in 2014. But, at $2.8m, you certainly have my attention.

Anywhere else besides Context and Frans Boone have earth reverse chamois shoes/boots? I've been looking for different options in this leather. The Context Roy boot is awesome, but unfortunately its sold out in my size.

Navy reverse chamois chukka and ranger moc. We are really happy how these turned out.

I need that chukka or ranger moc. If they are Barrie last and you have an 8 please PM me

I missed that you changed it to Tassels.

Speaking of Tassels though they just put up some #8 Tankers on Facebook if anyone is interested. The price can be steep to import but if your really in the market you may be able to score from them.

ya, only realized my mistake after I posted it.

I think tassels' price is kinda steep even for calf leather shoes.

I'm guessing the chukka is on the Leydon, similar to the stock 1493 in snuff suede.

Toe box looks wider than Leydon to me though. I'll know shortly

How much do lined chromexcel shoes stretch compared to the unlined ones?

Thanks!

Good eye, it is Leydon but an E width so it looks wider. The ranger moc is on Van last and E width. Will have a price for you shortly.

Those look great and pretty new sir.
You wear them well.

Thanks so much MrDV! These are their 3rd wear I believe.

You know, pairs of the earth chamois boot on the Barrie last have shown up in the last two TSM seconds list. I got a pair, and they are one of my favorite boots. It is worth giving The Shoe Mart a call to see if they have a pair in your size that didn't get snatched up / were returned. As a side note, I, along with a few other people felt that the boots fit a bit small and that one should order them TTS, as opposed to a half size down, like usual Barrie shoes.
