My most recent pair of Russells (and possibly favorite),

I believe I posted a pic of them in another thread back when I received them, but this is one I took recently.

Thanks. I placed the order on 9/23/10 and received the shoes today 02/02/11, which equates to 132 days or one day shy of 19 weeks or 4 months and a couple weeks.

Sporting Clays Chukka. I sized down a half size. Hopefully it's enough. We'll see.

Their boots are definitely most excellent but to be honest I'm thinking about ordering loafers (they should be here by about June, perfect timing I'd say.) Does anyone know if they'll make styles that are not currently in the catalog or on the website? My two favorite styles don't show up on either.
