Ed,

Looks like you caught Okuyama before he stopped taking orders.

[Gang]

your Indy boots with cat's paw looks much better than original.

[edmond]

ssup buddy! yeah these were with him since janruary!

[baldy]

not sure if its the lighting, but you've got a really nice shine on the toes of ur aldens there ed.

[edmond]

oh yeah i put some kiwi parade shine on them before taking the pic they got all dirty up after my buddy bought them home for me from okuyama's

[Gang]

Edmond, can you speak japanese?

how did you order your shoes to okuyama-san?

I picked up these alden "Medallion Tip Blucher Oxford" at a flea market yesterday. Hardly worn, I was amazed. (30$)

repped !

i hope they have these 2nd hand around here with this price.

Write Okuyama as you would anyone else - his English is perty danrned good.

mad cheap and I feel they've aged pretty damn well... this photo is after a few months. I've had em about a year now.

Brooks Brothers cordovan bluchers made by Alden. Found these today for $35. I almost lost my mind. They've been resoled with Cats Paw forefoot, but not heel. They're about a size too big, but nothing a nice insole wouldn't fix right up. The condition is so good. I can't wait to start wearing them regularly in 2011...

I'm still reeling.

Haven't even cleaned 'em yet!

[jstavrin]

The quality of that deal infuriates me, but congratulations.

Bill's carolina engineer boots he posted a long time ago were pretty awesome too. I like the carolina ones better, in my opinion.

Here's my two cents on the Narrow Wesco Boots:

Narrow Wesco's

I don't see the big difference between mine and those?

A page with some different looks of MOTO boots:

I don't know if they ship outside of Japan, but i figure they can be persuaded.

God i want those brown balmorals in horse.

^great link. I've always loved those plain toe lace ups in tan - beautiful boot.

[Happy Hooligan]

just saw this on my facebook wesco... I guess they're showcasing customs boots they make now.. they're not my style but some of you might like them.

"Another factory original - shipped off to a customer today. 18-inch custom Boss boot with a square toe in a combination of rough-out brown, grainside brown and rough-out burgundy leathers."

^^ crikey! gorgeous...

I found these today in a reprinted Sears Roebuck catalogue from Fall 1900, I don;t think these exact pages have been posted before, altough I know we've seen similar.

For $2.50 I think I'd go for the Kangaroo Bal, or for an extra 9c I like the look of the Lumberman's Erie...
