What would this board be without Andrew?
If I disappeared, nobody would notice!
When Andrew was on Hiatus, back in January, everybody noticed
BTW: I neither have nor hate the boots. I like them a lot and don't have them!

I hae everyone of those shoes, save Parson.Originally Posted by aportnoy
What's funny about it is that it could say either "I have" or "I hate" every one of those. Or just "I hae" them all.Originally Posted by well-kept
I am sure it's just a typo that he meant "have." C'mon, I don't think Andrew ever met a pair of Edward Green he didn't like, let alone hate. You were reading between the lines too much.

Now here is a shoe that looks better with a bit of wear. In its pristine state, I find it almost too delicate. But here, it looks great, and it's only going to get better.Originally Posted by DocHolliday
+1. The worn Marston looks as good, probably even better than when spanking new. It adds more characters and another dimension to it. It looks more organic. Perfect. The quality of a pair of well-made shoes can't be more apparent when they're worn for some time. This what separates boys from men.
Suggestion to aportnoy and vR: you guys should consider updating the damage reports after some wears and polishes, and chronicle how they age.

I don't think they ever actually WEAR the shoes, just keep them in climate controlled display cases.

I have seen seamless back from other makers such as Lattanzi and Vass. Is it more difficult to make shoes with seamless back?Originally Posted by mussel
Yes.
What's so funny about that.
