Shoes that look better with age...

Fresh from Stronghold, thanks Bill....

With or without the false tongue?

with of course

I've been eyeballing double monkstraps for about a year now... waiting for the right moment. These are on sale at 50% off at Brooks Brothers. They are from the Peal & Co collection, made in England.

They feel great on, no binding or pinching. The last and fit remind me very much of Paul Smith's wingtips.... I wonder if there is a manufacturing connection there.

I'm still debating on how to treat these. I'm contemplating burnishing thee toes with black or navy blue polish, or may keep them more traditionally polished, and just use Kiwi Brown on them,

Quick question for you Ed or Bill, our White's specialists.

Do you know if during a custom order we can ask to lower the heel just like on the Wesco customs?

[Quinnskimo]

I took some photos of these for the supermarket so I figured I'd post em here as well. Here are those Church's Chukka Boots.

Someone buy my beautiful boots.

[Quinnskimo]

dammit those are such good looking boots. i hate having big feet. I think those boots start looking a little bit clownish by the time they get up to the 10.5 range, much like the GT. Love the single leather sole.

[blm14]

UPS just delivered these to my office. Overstocks from the Wesco website - more than 50% off! They're by far the most comfortable boot I've owned which is a pretty strong statement because I have a lot of trouble finding shoes (size 13EE, with very high arches):

Came with a little tube of oil (which I plan to use) and the little leather tongue thingies (which I don't):

LOVE the contrast stitching:

[Happy Hooligan]

those jobmasters will some day look like this...

I picked these up on the bay but they didn't fit, but boy did I want them too....

[WhiteShark]

That's what inspired me to check out the model #.

Great choice, they will be made either by Alfred Sargent or Crockett Jones, if you showed the ankle writing I could tell you for certain, I would guess Sargent. It doesn't really matter, both makes are similar high quality. Burnishing would work well, you could also do a dark brown on the toe. Are you getting more traditional dress shoes lately?

[fre-co]

I rediscovered my redwing 875 after not wearing them for 8 months or so.

[superBobo]

^^ Those look great. If I could find some 875s that fit, they would be my go to boots...

Please don't refer to Edmond as a specialist, just because he owns a ton of pairs don't mean shit.

[rnrswitch]

Ohhh the poor nice shoes that never get worn... what a pity and waste.

[lenn]

i'm pretty sure those will all see plenty of wear. please don't just put random comments with pics just because ed posted them.
