Shoes that look better with age...

[synthi]

Hearing that Greg I just went back to pg.83 especially to check em out again *drools*

The more I see these the more I like em. Thanks for that link to Drwws Boots too, just had a browse and some of the models look similar to the above which given what you say isn't a big surprise. Look forward to the pics in 4 weeks

We need more burgundy shoe pics!

The only shoes I have in burgundy are my old USA made Weejuns,

and my AE tassels.

Not very super-futery but I do love them and they age well. The #8 Indy's will be my next pair of burgundy shoes but there are a bunch of them around here it seems.

Among Panerai collectors there's the "Yogi shot," the photo of the watch on someone's wrist as they hold the steering wheel of their car. Showing off the watch and the car.

We need the "Leica Lad shot," the shot of the shoe resting somewhere on one's mode of transport.

If anyone wears an 11 B ( as in super narrow ) search ebay for Chippewa working packers boots ..

I really liked them - til I realized the width .. I am a D borderline E ..

[mizanation]

familyman, those are great for the spring and summer time. it's warm in nyc today, and i am finding my shell cordovan boots a little stuffy. time to start looking for some nice slip ons...

Familyman: LOL

My Alden #8 wing tip boot should be here in about 4 - 5 months...

That's strange. SuFu is quite some place! My grandfather's place was in Keno, West on the #66 from Klamath Falls. No, I've never been to Canby or Alturas that I remember...

still after a pair of roughouts. although these look way darker than the ones at www.wwiiimpressions.com

any ideas on where to pick some up??? Im in the UK

i love new york, but i miss hanging out and driving around in small rural west coast towns, believe it or not.

time slows down. diner food tastes better. the sunset is prettier. don't know what it is. i'm itching to take a road trip, but my wife's not into the whole rural america thing.

[GregNYC]

Not to mention - In'n'Out Burger, kicks butt on any burger joints on the East Coast!

[mizanation]

i LOVE in-and-out. did i tell you i ate a 4x4 with fries followed by a 2x2 in one 20 minute sitting?

i really like the burger joints you find on I-5 or I-90 in the middle of nowhere. even those taste better than any burger on the east coast, in my opinion. i got some suggestions from swisloc i have to try before i make that my final answer.

[GregNYC]

There used to be this great place on Highway 101 called Santa Claus Lane. Christmas decor throughout the year. And the largest diameter burgers I've ever seen, served in a basket-weave plastic basket in wax paper with fries. I agree, the middle-of-nowhere places are great. Shades of Route 66, back in the day - when people really used to wear the stuff we buy repros of!

[airfrogusmc]

Heres one GREAT burger if you're ever near Santa Fe. Try the green chili cheeseburger

And its on "old" Rt 66.

^ damn. makes me want to go on a road trip again. (and this time stop by all the vintage stores.)

[partytaco]

looks like one of the weird italian boots with all the straps you would find at otto tootsi plohound and if that is the maritime hotel i see in the background it makes sense that it would be.

A sweet slip-on. Sturdy. Understated. Good for walking NYC streets. I need it.

Driving along the 5 in San Diego at sundown, top down, listening to Mark Eitzel and American Music Club's "Highway Five" on the disc player. Sublime.

so can anyone help me get a pair of roughouts??

[mizanation]

greg, airfrog, that's exactly what i'm talking about.

nothing beats a highway burger.

try these guys:

http://www.rakuten.co.jp/vintage/720055/730467/#778958

and if they don't ship to the u.k., then go through a bidding service?

[synthi]

McCoy also do something similar but they'll make your wallet flinch :eek:

Check them out here.

I like the Steve McQueen packaging, but this last has kindof a wierd shape:

All I gotta say is 'lol'

[Tarmac]

come on. I dont believe Steve McQueen would wear some duck feet birki shaped boots. :confused:

[YoungPunch]

The toebox on those mcqueen boots do look really weird, but mccoy's are known for their fanatical attention to detail in their reproductions, so that's probably how those boots actually looked....

[captain5640]

got these on my recent trip to Bari, Italy...hopefully they'll age gracefully

I really like these. If you don't mind me asking, what was the price?

[GregNYC]

Anyone know where to get old-skool waxed cotton boot laces? I'd like some for my Indies....

[synthi]

There is this place Greg http://www.shoestringuk.co.uk/Public/publicLaces_1.html?laceType=111 doing different widths and lengths however they're in the UK. If you don't find an alternative source in the US and want a hook up just lemme know.

thanks, i paid 280 euros for them.
