makes two of us, even when the aforesaid 201 is offered in my normal B width. Still too roomy.

If it ain't a 65, it ain't a Neumok

Happy Autumnal Equinox! It's not remotely fall weather here, high of 91 today, wearing my Merlot McAllister's; I didn't get a chance for a photo maybe this afternoon.

Plus brown is a great shell color.

For sure! Before I got these Norwichs I didn’t get how beautiful brown shell was. If I could’ve afforded a few more pairs of shoes from the TS, I would’ve gotten some brown shell (Brown shell MacNeil’s =?).

The 511 is usually just a smidge too short for me in my normal size 13B. This pair seemed to work — but just barely. And yet for some reason, these feel a bit short today.

Happy Monday folks. Lots of shell talk, but decided to go calf today:

All the new neumok models are on the 201

...and I won't be owning them...

Neumok 2.0 though, which likely wouldn't be used for the webgem. Same way there's a Leeds/Dundee/MacNeil 2.0 with poron, but the Trunk Shows use the 1.0 versions.

Which team colors were offered last time ?

Today features the Whitney wingtip. With perhaps the most durable of the dress soles, the Whitney had a terrible leather toe that wore too quickly. Could these Lulu taps make it last forever?

They weren't around long, have a non-leather sole, and are honestly a bit of an awkward design being a longwing chukka. I suspect they didn't sell in great numbers, reducing the likelihood of them showing here. That said, there is a certain charm about them that I've appreciated, but I don't think I would ever own simply because I have so many others I love more.

PSA: A big sale is coming up on the 1st. I was about to buy a pair of Verona's with a $75 off coupon and the sales associate advised I wait because I'd save more with the sale next week.

All good and valid points. No surprise I like them, being something of an awkward design myself.

I'm an anomaly around here in that I use non-leather soles much/most of the time. My motorcycle pegs really chew on leather soles, and when I'm not riding to work it's usually because of winter weather that precludes leather soles. Sometimes I'll bring shoes separately and wear riding boots, but not often. I prefer to call it efficiency rather than laziness....

My new mantra! Lol!

To each his own man! You're buying higher quality than most of the world, so I'm not complaining! I'm definitely partial to leather myself, but I don't drive a motorcycle (my supercharged Miata is my version of a motorcycle, that I admittedly haven't had time/energy to drive in over two years).
