Oh yeah, no doubt. I dont sweat the spotting that much but I do tend to be more careful. Just annoying to have spotted them within 10m of putting them on, lol.

And thank you!

Beautiful! From Skoaktiebolaget?

Yep, circa 2015. My first pair of Enzo’s, and I couldn’t have chosen wiser.

One of my all-time favorite boots, the Bonafe jumper in mahogany cordovan, as retailed by Skoaktiebolaget (before they went all Loft & Tung crazy).

Great pair. And to think there was a time when any man could stroll down to his local Florsheim store and order a pair.

Very nice!

I like the toe box shape. Reminds me a little of C&J 240 last for Peale & Co.

Was genuinely impressed especially with their condition after so long!

Stephen,

Realize this is an ancient post but had a quick question for you on this fantastic pair. Are these the standard low jumpers (80179) on the Soller? As I just posted on the Carmina thread, debating a high jumper on the Soller and trying to get a feel for that last on foot.

thank you Sir!
