Believe it or not the #8 Jumpers I got lucky with, they are IRR from Shoe Mart. Sheer luck.

My Ravello Wingtip Boots are shipping out tomorrow from Shoe Mart. It is going to be an agonizing wait, but a glorious day next week when I get them! That little glimpse in the picture makes my mouth water. Thanks for posting.

so today i was looking at some aldens in store and i noticed the shell cordovans on the bottom said "genuine shell cordovan" instead of "horween shell cordovan"

is this a new thing? old thing? or is it not horween for some pairs?

I think they stopped doing that in 2006 or 2007. Probably was old stock.

1) plaza last?

2) did alden do the sole treatment (extended edge) or was it done by a local cobbler?
