EG Galway, edwardian, 202 last, double leather sole=amazing

They are all sharp but this one, IMO, hands down champ. I can not say why as all the damage in this thread rocks but those are stunning. Perfect coloring I think and, as always, nice damage Mr. Portnoy.

The Brooklands looks amazing. Without a doubt it's my favorite boot. Enjoy!

Nice to see more boots in this thread. Some nice additions, Andrew.

I'm often an outlier on fit, but I size down a full size in the 8000 and a half size in the 888.

I have been wondering if you wear shoes by season, weather, afternoon/midday/evening. You certainly have the collection

When you buy more shoes than there are days in the week, you must change them at some point mid-day, right?

I agree with HF; I'd pay $20 to take a tour of the shoe closet. Love the first pair of JLP boots, especially.

Have you been reading Plato's allegory of the cave again?

Aportnoy, you simply must give us (at least one) group shot of all these incredible shoes. I am quite curious how you store/display your collection.
