I liked them better before. That's me.

Btw, the nicest pair I've seen from you so far. That's also me.

I'm afraid my photographic skills and camera are both rather horrible, I thought I'd give it a shot anyway.

JL City II, dark brown museum calf. Nothing too fancy, I know, though not all that bad considering I'm still a student – I have no complaints!

I sometimes find those all leather heels a tad slippery. Anyone have suggestions?

Any info regarding the quality of these Bostonians?

Much thanks as always.

If I get these in time, I will wear them for the blue Wang contest.

Normally after 1 or 2 wearings the leather surface is "scratched" and you are fine. Your cobbler can cut out a piece of leather and insert rubber instead. They have it in different sizes.

OSCARTHEWILDE those shoes are specs are outstanding. I love the blue, definately not something you see everyday. As for your question on the quality of bostonians, I've found the older models to hold up very well and are quite comfy but the newer shoes are just too uncomfortable for me to even attempt wearing on a day to day basis. (dont know if that helps too much)

I'm not sure about the rubber sole. It looks purple on my screen, too
