Do you guys wear your leather shoes sockless? I am afraid the sweat can damage the leather.

I think "baller" and "Alden" are mutually exclusive terms no matter what dumb ass price some fool thinks he can get for poorly made horse ass shoes and the dumb ass who might pay that outrageous price

 

[Pauly Chase]

Watch your mouth, young man. That is a lot of ass in one sentence. Horse ass to be specific.

That is a lot of $$$ to pay for a piece of ass. Just saying.

You're too late - I posted those in the "eBay watchlist" thread a few weeks back.

I also posted a link over in the Alden thread on SF and it was largely received with a "meh", as though ludicrous prices for Alden cordovan boots were entirely normal.

Anyway, if you think that's silly (and it is), then you should have a look at this "for sale" thread over on SF:

http://www.styleforum.net/t/464668/...d-alden-color-2-longwing-blucher#post_7777494

Two pairs of Aldens - one a shell cordovan boot and the other a shell cordovan shoe - for only $3800. It's an absolute bargain, as that's only $1900 each for an unworn pair of shoes and a pair of boots that have only been worn "about 35 times".

Well, exactly. Why pay that much when we can just go and pick some up from your farm?

Exactly. Of course my neighbours will be wondering who the new guy are checking out my horses' asses! Competition!

 

[Pauly Chase]

I would pay 700 at most for them. I am monitoring that auction to see if anyone actually bites

Jesus Christ. I was looking at mint condition Honda CBR600RR that costs less than that. It's sad because seller is actually a decent dude. I guess everyone is trying to make a quick buck and capitalize.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's (horse's) ass.

We proper speakers say arse when we mean arse

Nothing decent about a dude acting like a Nike grip n flip pimple faced bridge and tunnel scum.

What's the deal with pinking? I think this is a main reason that I didn't like wingtips when I grew up in a plain/cap toe family, because the gingerbread effect was too much.
Does anyone know if there is a functional point to it? I suspect that, besides adding depth and dimension, it allows the stitching to wander a bit without really showing

 

[Pauly Chase]

What is pinking?

 

[Russell Street]

When the edge is cut zig-zagged...

 

[Grand Potentate]

What is pinking?

The sawtooth cutout on the edge of brogueing strips.

 

[Pauly Chase]

Learning something new everyday. Never heard of that term before.

 

[Thruth]

quite nice. generally not a fan of shell and especially iGent MTO creations but this is tasteful. Carmina

 

[Grand Potentate]

Ooooooh those sure are handsome

Monitoring this currently. My size too. Not buying, but interesting patina. Do the dark spots develop from wear?

Don't like the contrast of dark sole edges with the butterscotch pebble grain on the first boot.

Do like the second and third versions. The last one could be a workhorse boot.

Any info on Barney's house brand shoes? Who makes them? Quality? Thruth

 

[Thruth]

bot worth the retail they charge but when they clear them out they are a good deal. There have been a variety of makers from Peluso to Campanile, Sassetti and Harris. Wait until they are 50% off.

Read somewhere their ROI with their retail is crazy.

There is a bunch of them on Barneyswarehouse.com currently with extra 30% off.

Thinking about the chestnut or the suede.

Decent deal on those suedes?

$132 can't get much cheaper than that.

 

[Pauly Chase]

I am contemplating. I wish there was a shot of the sole. Been wanting a pair of chocolate suede captoe for some time.

 

[Pauly Chase]

HELP!!!!!! Just noticed this today. Cats got in the closet.

 

[Grand Potentate]

What's so terrible about that? Just polish it up nice.

 

[Pauly Chase]

Polish will fill the scratch up?

 

[Grand Potentate]

Polish will fill the scratch up?

obviously depends on how deep it is, but it should if its not too bad.

Any idea who makes the shoes for Matthew Cookson (aka Shipton & Heneage, dismissed by tacky shill Shoe Snob as a fly by night seller though I find his styles a lot classier than those from that snobbish lowlife)? I know Grenson and Crockett Jones used to produce them, but not sure now.

All shoes from Matthew Cookson’s store - www.matthewcookson.com

 

[Arnathor]

Lol, I got 450E to drop on some shoes... Anyone have an opinion on Ed Et Al shoes?
