Don't know if these have been posted yet, but I wonder how high they will go.

Anyway, Kyle from bakershoe told me that White's 'might' carry blue/burgundy chromexcel around June, and possibly other options that aren't available yet in the US...

What other options?

[rkusmant]

IIRC it's the brogue cap toe

Medallion?

[rkusmant]

I'm not positive but I guess what he means is the brogue detail along the captoe stitching (straight line)

[hollowsleather]

Ahh, maybe there's just some terminology overlap. I've always heard it called a medallion cap toe, but it sounds like we're talking about the same thing at least.

Quarter-brogue?

Yeah, I was planning on wearing them to the Abbey today, but it seems that I wasn't on the guestlist after all...

You have far too many boots CTB. If you're a UK9 please send some of them my way.

You are keeping bakers and white's in business all by yourself.

Get out, you bad, bad man!

You should just try wearing the boots you have. You've posted pics of some beautiful boots... It's probably unnecessary to continue buying more. This is just my opinion though, take it or leave it.

You're definitely right, Layne.

I have over the course of the last weeks sold two pairs already and I have two more for sale.

The original idea was to sell only three pairs but the last pair of SDs I got was like wearing a pair of boats whence the new acquisition.

Regarding other brands like Trickers, Alden and others. I likey but not at all like the white's.

I dunno, they feel too dressy for me I guess.

For the interested, Im keeping these:

Second this. Mine are getting more wear than all my other boots at the moment.

Just got my rufflanders back from the cobbler.

For 8 fricking euros a quite satisfying job!

Vintage Frye boots, size 11, '70s I'm guessing, with cat's paw heels.

Vintage monk straps, size 11.5-12, no discernible label.

The dressiness is all down to how you choose to maintain them - I'd not call fre$co's boots dressy at all; he chooses to look after them in a certain way that keeps them sweet but not as super shiny as the way that I choose to.

No correct way of doing it, all down to preference...

Nice shoes, grouse_allergy

maybe the cap toe stitching like this

I talked to Richard from Shoehealer and he agrees to do 6 Tricker's MTO for August delivery and additional 12 for September delivery. I'm looking for people with interest in getting the group MTO to PM me.

The design I have in mind is the Tricker's Eaton in Coffee burnished calf with all brass eyelets and dainite sole. For each design, we need to have 6 persons participating, we can have 6/12//18 people with same design.

Let me know if there's other design in mind.

It's the same as LS edition of Eaton

I'll follow up with him with more details. The price for this MTO is regular pricing, no additional fees (~GBP 325 with VAT incl and deduct VAT for non-EU/UK). Let me know if I need to put this on separate thread.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Nice design

Custom 8134,made in Berlin by the Redwing Shoe-Repair Team

[Highvoltage]

Just got my Alden 403's, had time to try them on for a minute, and got called back out to work. First impression is that they are very well constructed, and the fit is very comfortable/supportive. My only issue, and it is a minor one is that I'm skinny, and that I have to pretty much tighten the lacing at the ankles all the way. Hopefully they don't stretch too much.

Can't wait to really be able to wear them in.

What these guys said. Perfect mix between dressier SD and a wallabee. Love mine.
