Even unrolled my rug for a background. It already looks like creasing is going to be a problem, which is why I'm trying to get them conditioned ASAP. Fit and feel of the shoes is incredible, by far the best that I own. Socks are Calcificio di Pio from STP, wool and nylon.

Nice socks and ankles. Is that a "seam" detail that runs from the toe box up the vamp to the laces?

I love mine as well. But I'm just curious, how many shoe bags did you all get? I got one, but I distinctly remember the ones sold at Bergdorf having two.

I didn't get these but all my SM shoes have one large shoe bag for the pair

Too bad no 10.5s.

I think Stu needs to post a good picture of Wifey to make up for this shortcoming.

That's a nice 'twist' on the 'usual' wholecuts. I like.

My pair of SM wholecuts with the front seam creased pretty badly the first few wearings but then the creases spread out a little bit. They originally had two deep creases per shoe. Then the leather molded to my feet (or something) so I get a few more finer creases and no major creases.

BTW, the film from the neutral polish isn't there anymore. I only half josepidaled them.

Same here -- don't think that SM does the "two bag" thing....
