Cross-post from C&J thread. Whiskey Cardiff for my kid's kindergarten graduation ceremony on zoom. She turns six tomorrow and I think I might celebrate by breaking out a pair of new shell boots that's been sitting in the closet for almost a year now.

Custom Rozsnyai chukka in Horween Armagnac for my first day of (optional) return to office. Have been itching to rock these at work even though they're neither fish nor foul as far as dress shoes go.

My 1st pair of shell Carminas from the original Amaretto run a few years ago.

Bonus vintage project shoes that are still WIP. These appear to have been either sample shoes or a MTO from the 80s -- it's not clear. They are the AE Saratoga tagged with the incorrect model number and constructed without the standard combo heel.

Couple before pics...

These look great to me! Lot of variations in shell colors. These look similar to the bourbon other makers are putting out right now
