Lol. If I got goyser, would opt for a darker matching goyser. Not a fan of the lighter goyser varies-distracts from the shoe

For me, Goyser all about contrast and emphasis around the hand stitching.

And agree it's not easy to pull off Goyser in a formal office environment, unless it's well blended.

Namor, I have to disagree on the goyser in that a contrasting colour, just like a natural welt, looks good on a more showy shoe. But in your case, a big serious goyser'd boot definitely works with the dark stitching. What a fantastic pair - well done! U and F?

Either way, Vass does such a wonderful job on the goyser welt, keeping it thin to maintain a slim profile. I hate the "boardwalk" style that some shoes do for their goyser/norvegese stitching, but from all the Vass ones I see especially on U and F lasts, they look so sleek and exquisite.

Bloody outstanding - makes me even more impatient for my own U-cap boot. How long since you placed the order?
