    Purdey Lowand boots

    http://www.purdey.com/clothing-accessories/purdey-lowland-boot-boot063.aspx Anyone know who these are made by? Also what type of leather is used. Horween Chromexcel? Little bit wary of the price (£285) - being relatively low for quality footwear. The construction doesn't appear to be GW.

    Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II

    Well, it's good and bad. Good for them, of course. Bad for (most of) the customers. You don't get much bang for your buck. Far too expensive, and out of the reach of many people. And at the lower end, upper one hundreds or low two hundreds you're not going to get something of quality that...

    Broughton boots?

    Read that. Article is typically journalistically thin. More chappish than informative.

    Broughton boots?

    http://broughtonboots.co.uk/ Anyone know much about this company? Reckon they're using Horween Chromexcel leather. Barbour welt? Not sure if they have a leather insole.

    Quality Of Grenson Shoes

    My last foray into Grenson was buying a pair of old Rose line brogues. They went back because the last didn't fit me and there was a huge indent in the toecap. This was at the point that Grenson was heading towards the toilet bowl, the Rose line discontinued soon after. I saw a pair of...

    Is this bag worth $10,000?

    No. I lost interest when I found out that it is made from Horween leather. Anyway, I wouldn't spend that much on a bag even if I had the money to do so. http://www.fischervoyage.com/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-32027515

    Quality Of Grenson Shoes

    It's a pity the quality of Grenson has gone downhill. Their old Rose line was pretty good. Now it's all rubbish, with silly names for their different lines and absurd shoecare advice on their website. I wouldn't pick up a pair on ebay even if they were at a discount. A waste of money.

    Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II

    I only wish they'd make some Handgrade shoes on a different last, say 236 as they used to do. I dislike the elongated, chiseled 337 and some of the even longer lasts which are ridiculous.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    I say that because the Snowdon is made in quite a soft calf leather. For the price (£475?) I'd get two top quality walking boots in strong leather. Post some pics - see how they have held up.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    To be honest, I don't think any of them are right for snow or indeed rough terrain. Fine quality grained leather soaks water up like a sponge, veldtschoen or not and will be torn to pieces if you went rambling in them. Agree - the Snowdon is the best of the bunch (due to it's waxed leather...

    How do you rate the leather on the Trickers as compared to C&J? Not sure about Tricker's.

    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

    I have read lots of posts about what products to use on them. Speaking from experience, I have used Montana Pitch Blend and Obenaufs. Recently tried this. Excellent product. Better than the latter two products, which can leave black residue on the leather. I can now see the fine grain of...

    Barker insole?

    Guess what I meant is that the leather insoles look a bit odd, and they are not stamped "real leather"

    Barker insole?

    Had a look a few Barker shoes a few weeks ago. Not sure if they have leather insoles.

    Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II

    I prefer to let my shoes take an all over patina. With respect to Foster, it just looks artificial/overdone.
