They’re always structured. Idt there’s been unstructured toes for like 6 years. The slippers were unstructured, but they added toe puffs.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. When you say you don't think there'slve been unstructured toes for 6 years, you mean in shell cordovan, right? I was under the impression that non-shell occasionally is unstructured...

It basically is the officer boot. The halkett service boot is an officer boot but with 1 one piece back stay, the the officer has a derby backstrip, but with the faux external heel stitching. View attachment 1670342

The shelby is an officer boot with pinking and additional brogueing on the derby backstrip, the brogue boot is a shelby with a toe medallion, and the most deconstructed of them all is the current halkett derby boot.
Yeah it’s pretty much the same boot, although, the officer boot looks good with or with the heel counters. Oddly, the natural shell halkett looks meh.

Most makers won't do unstructured shell. It has a tendency to promote rolls that run all the way through the toe box and is a very difficult look. There's a pic of a pair of unstructured shell (think they're natty) bergs someone might have that shows how they end up aging.

Viberg does unstructured in non-shell still though. Usually only through stockists though lately.

Mahogany maybe?
Yeah it might be October's release, but on ridgeway, because Brett thinks we don't want ridgeway shell SBs in the West.

This was their last Mahogany release on the .com
Yeah! I still prefer ridgeway to dainite though personally. The bourbon mules are really interesting to me though.... I kinda really want them.
