    Many times. Works as you describe and for me, the net shipping cost is lower than it would have otherwise been. I don’t think it’s too new. I’ve used it for a couple of years at least.

    Horrible work. Both the tear and taps. The shoes look really good so your instincts were on-point. The shoes are definitely wearable. Just unfortunate the cobbler had a bad day.

    In addition to @smfdoc comment, to the best of my knowledge, the B&M make is the only one with a flat welt. I can’t justify knew but have been scanning all the usual places for a used pair. You got the best of the best. Congrats. Speaking of @smfdoc, those Ravello wings? Good grief, incredible!
