Thanks! You can't see it cause its not there...its just a single flip.
Thanks, I know. This is absolutely 100% because Mike started carrying these. My time is so precious, so when I first started really getting into shoes, before I had my kids, I'd putz around and try stuff on in Manhattan. I found Alden, liked the aesthetic and found the right fit in the right lasts. I also experimented with English shoes before that, but never got a last and size down. Because of that I threw a lot of money on shoes that didn't fit right. Now my time is too precious (I want to eat up every second I have with my kids while they are still little and actually enjoy me too) so I am not willing to sacrifice the time to go to Manhattan and try different lasts from different companies. I suppose its an extension of Foo's one-shoe concept, but in reality was a morphed "two-last" for me.
Now that these shoes are a quick ride from my place in Brooklyn, its hella easy for me to take 30 minutes and check em out in person. So I'm glad Epaulet started carrying these on top of their Alden models.
Now THAT is sharp. Love me some white pants. Almost too white to see the famed NYR doublecuff

Those Carminas suit you really well. It's weird to see you not wearing gunboats!
