Sweet! do they have the hurricane tan in size 8 or 8.5? Also, how about a number, I wanna call the store since I'm out of state.

i polish all my shoes, including my hurricane starr brogues with clear beeswax polish, it is too hard to colour match with anything other than blacks. it works well.

i am almost certain that starr's are blake-rapid welted.

I'm pretty sure the Millers arent cemented being a mainline shoe, and that there was a mixup in conversation. There are a bunch of shoes in the "PS" line that ARE cemented, and the Paul Smith website has said as much.

I wish the stores would hurry up and get the F/W shoes in, the wait is murder for an impatient guy like me!

I saw the Corsos at Gimme Shoes in SF. They look like a replacement for the Sundance, I'm guessing they had a lot of inquiries for that style after it was done. Nice boot.

Thanks for the pics RFX, those Corso's are sweet. I usually don't like brogues, but I love the toe box pattern on those. Is that a pattern that they have used before or is it new?

They don't look nerely as godly as the Sundance did for some reason. Corso seems to be a wider last?
