Now:

Hah! Gotta love second-hand shoes and Kampala-quality resoling. Sent them off to get repaired (read: re-super-glued) for about US$1.50

[Xolotl]

shit kicker dress shoes= english country boots

I'm buying a pair of the cap toes cause they have slight seconds on sale for 106 pounds shipped to the U.S. i'll try to post some pictures when they arrive. they're from herring shoes. def worth checking out, especially their seconds.

I bought these Herring Keswick boots about one week ago at Herringshoes.co.uk. Price was 99 pounds. They are very similar (almost identical) to C&J Coniston boots, made by Loake for Herringshoes.They are slight seconds but just have some insignificant stains which will be gone after first polish.

[Aquaphor]

Xolotl nice find and great price. They do look quite similar to the Conistons. The only difference I could spot are the different toe shapes and the pull tab.

[Turntabloid]

Even billy viberg or whatever his name is looks terrible in them.

JP pricing, but direct from Viberg. Ouch. Looks like they're not handling their new found popularity too well.

it's brett viberg.

i too can't understand the price tag on those, nor do i like the look of them.

[fre-co]

They look good, the leather looks a little plasticky compared to conistons but for 1/3 of the price you can't complain about that

[Xolotl]

The leather also looks a little bit brighter compared to the Coniston. I think I will try to darken them a little bit with chestnut brown shoe polish.

Thanks for the advice, Erk.

My Tricker's Stow are for sale in the supermarket if anyone is interested.

never oiled, I think that's just the flash that made the new ones lighter.

here's another shot when they were new and it's much darker

[Turntabloid]

I think they're awesome. They look much better on too. Too bad they didn't have my size in NY.

Large sizes interested in Aldens better go check out LSH. Some nice shoes in 12D.

595 right?

[hurhur]

yup. they are 595s

[entropy kid]

For some reason RW Chukkas remind me a little bit of my standard boot from the mid 80s to early 90s. They are still sold today, the only real difference is that the laces are darker and that the branding tab now is just a stupid C instead of the original camel.

Very nice man... Does Viberg do semi-custom orders for folks with hard to fit feet like White's? I think Viberg makes a nicer looking boot... However, seems like White's takes comfort/fit VERY seriously..
