Now I know how you can afford so many styles of all those fine shoes! You buy only one of each shoe.

All of them are marvelous. Congratulations on more great selections.

How much have they cost so far in total?

 

[GQgeek]

All I can say is that I'm very envious of you, Mr. Portnoy. I truely love the EG Southwold in maple and the JL Vintage 2005.

 

[CaptChaos]

aportnoy, you are assembling a very impressive collection of shoes. How do you find the time to wear all of them? Do you change shoes a few times a day?

This is what I call shock and awe!! I have a feeling this is only a teaser of what's to come.

What's to come? Christ, the other 7 installments haven't been impressive enough?

yet another reason why i think you JUST CAN'T BEAT John Lobb shoes...thanks for posting, really fantastic collection.

P - are you buying the Lobbs on Ebay or on Madison or somewhere else? I'm trying to find a good source for Lobbs at discount, and Ebay rarely has my size.

Repeat after me: Grensons at Bennie's. Hide the women and children.

Thanks Z...much appreciated! I have real envy for your JL 2002s, I have a pair on my radar.

Thanks, I really want the 2002s in black. They fit really well - the 2-eye derby works well. The Lobb store "located" 2 pairs for me @ $1100 each

(MSRP was $1050 way back when)
