Carmina Amaretto tankers. I was going through shell withdrawal after 4 days of rain here in Atlanta.

It may be just me, but I reserve my (darker)shell specifically for the rain due to ease of care afterwards

Love the colour!

it was me asking recently about C&J dark brown shell and whether it lightens over time. This photo definitely shows the kind of colour I would hope for.

I have a hankering for my 2nd shell pair and have a potential option in dark brown shell but wouldn’t be so keen if it stayed really dark with no variation in tones.

I always avoided the rain in my pair but have read a lot recently about its resilience in rain and how it can be cleaned up easily afterwards so I might be a bit less paranoid from now.

They're from Nov 2015. They were pretty dark when new.

No shell or suede in the rain for me. I may give suede a try at some point, but I own only a single pair of suede boots which I rotate. I have two pairs of C&J Conistons incoming from Cavour's 50% off sale, will reserve one pair for wet weather wear.

It's funny, I'm the complete opposite! I have 8 or so pairs of suede. Spray them with protectant and use them and shell exclusively for rain

Sometimes I really hate you guys.

Thanks a lot flylikeaneagle, now that I saw Cavour is having a sale, I’ve bought another pair that I really don’t need.

Found a pair of Florsheim shell PTBs that have been pretty neglected making reading any of the codes difficult. Any idea on age? I think the date code is HF which is either 1965, 1975, 1985 or 1995. Black lettering, green Florsheim Imperial inset.
