gdl, big fan of all your sutor's, nice collection you've amassed.Originally Posted by whnay.
gdl203, re your Grenson butterfly loafers, have you had to put some padding in them for fit? It might just be the lighting, but the pictures seem to suggest some sort of heel-grip sort of pad, and also something along the sides. Also, the color looks darker and a little redder than the ones I got very recently from Chris (but again, it might just be the picture and the lighting). Have you tried some darker polish with them? FWIW, I had to tape in some padding on my right shoe--at the heel and along one side--to make the fit snug enough and prevent heel slipping. Otherwise--and overall--I've been very pleased with these shoes.Originally Posted by Roger
Re the Mantellassi suede monkstraps you got from Lance, I've been looking at the same shoe on his website. I'm assuming they're Blake-stitched, but with channeled sole. Is this correct? Also, if they're like a pair of Mantellassi suede bluchers I have (Blake-stitched), they are very light on your feet, with the uppers not providing a great deal of support.Originally Posted by Roger
Yes - they're very light and the soles are channeled. I have no idea how to tell if they're Blake or Goodyear welted though. ..Originally Posted by gdl203
If you look inside up front on the insole, can you see stitching?Originally Posted by Roger
Most definitely! what's the name of the black split-toe model?Originally Posted by gdl203
i wonder if our disdain for wrinkle-ridden leather shoes--thus the eternal spit-shining--and our psychologically instincts for resisting wrinkles on people have any relationship...Originally Posted by seok
