I don't have them because my size sold out a long time ago, I just handle them whenever I go they're lovely and dirt cheap imho. The burgundy is beautiful, I would never get brown.

I think you should check them out, they're one of those things that if you try them and you like them, everyone will follow suit. I have too many shoes so I'm cutting back myself.

Has anyone picked up the brown/burgundy boat shoes w/ the siped (white) sole? I'm curious what these look like with darker denim and/or shorts. They look great, but not sure about $125 great :p

Thanks!

Character and cracked leather are different all together.

Condition them with a leather conditioner and a clear paste polish every now and again. Don't be afraid to get them dirty and dusty but, cracked leather just makes anything look cheap.

If I need a 7 1/2, where do I buy these without having to wait two months?

And by these I mean bluchers in either brown or burgundy.

I think Quoddy just recently increased their prices by 30-50%. And South Willard just sold the pair I was interested in. ;_;
