Apropos of conversations about whether Walnut is appropriate with dark navy pants, I figured I’d wear my Chili Hersey’s today as a f**k you to the rules. I believe these were before they switched to “Dark Chili” so they are rather bright. That, combined with the woven vamp and the split toe, make these shoes like a neon sign saying “look at my shoes!” I’m ok with that.

Looks good!
I like the combination of chili with navy.

So I just noticed 2 odd prices while looking at the inventory on shoebank which I hope are errors. Park Ave Dark Chili Dainite (5621S) at $314.00 and Delray Bourbon at $395.00. I hope $314 isn't the new baseline vs $299 or $249. I have to assume $395 is a typo because the alternative explanations don't really make sense.

I wore these for a little while yesterday and rain today so HM gets the call again today. Love these! Amazing how just brushing really makes these shine!

Consequently if anyone would like a nice pair of Odenwalds 11.5D, message me....

Merlot Strands today. I still get a v-gap with my low instep on the 65 last.

Fingers are crossed - hoping these actually fit!!


Well - they are a tad tight - they are an E width instead of my normal 3E. I’ll wear them for a few hours and let my feet decide...

Orient Star with a power reserve (blue hands?)

Thanks for the info. I was interested in trying the MacNeil 2.0 to see how the higher toe box fits. But sounds like it was a dud. Also probably changes the look of the shoe too much.

Not a fan of Poron; but I actually never have tried as it as a fit solution.

The the 2.0 and 1.0 are both on th 7 last.

It's possible those are leftovers from limited edition runs and not seconds, so the prices may be correct. They sometimes send these to the Shoebank.

Weird lighting this morning for my no -AE boots from the other “A” made in USA brand.

True though usually not accompanied with the 'S' at the end of the model number. I've purchased a pair or 2 that were just marked down limited runs or closeouts that showed up on the bank but they didn't have the 'S' notation on them. Actually have seen this with belts as well.

Looks like your in the car biz? Same here. What's your role/position?

A pleasant Monday to you, fellow enthusiasts. Feeling the spring vibes today. Banana Republic herringbone pants, J Crew OCBD, Gap slub merino v-neck, brown Dundees.

Good news. My long-awaited Brooks Brothers Aldens are arriving today, so I got that going for me.
