JM Weston 631 Chelsea boots. These are very stylized chisel-toe boots with a nicely shaped sole:

The buckle I got from www.buckleandhide.co.uk. I had Delos remove the old buckle, cut the belt to size and affix the new buckle.

Labelking, may I be rude and ask what the cost of those excellent boots were/ are? I bought some crockett and jones chelsea boots recently, but I like the shape of those westons much more. great looking ankle boots!!

Those buckles are straight out of a '70s Pierre Cardin gift-set.

The Foxx,

Yes, they are a very chiseled toe. I got them for $500 which is about $400 off from the original price of $950.

Skyvalet actually still has a sale on these if you're partial to larger sizes:

Thanks. I definitely see what you mean.

Panzer, you're a brave man. Nice collection - I actually mistook your Scaforas for EGs on the 888 before I looked closer.

To each his own. I'm not here to judge.

That's actually what a lot of camera collectors do. Once in a while they bring them out to fondle.
