It's a sickness, isn't it? It's always „one more boot, but that's the last one!“.

Minus the ones I'll be selling, I'm down to 12 boots which cover all seasons and colours. 6 C&Js for year round, 5 Tricker's for autumn and winter and the Rannoch for the ice age and the upcoming zombie apocalypse.
I got an occasion on a Marron Burford some months, which I couldn't resist as it has always been an unfulfilled wish, but other than that my last purchase was the Chestnut Milled Calf Coniston in December.

... still I want the new Donegal in Walnut Hatch Grain.



The Islay is a king!



I'm with you as the Scotch Grain pattern is so 'wow' by itself, it does not need additional support. I feel this more so with the Tan, on the Dark Brown SG the contrast of the brogueing is lessened and with that it works more as an ornamentation than like a competing pattern.

I get where you’re coming from, although on my Pembrokes, the toecap leather is stretched to the point that the grain is barely visible, which lessens the impact.

12 is a great number of boots. Any more just becomes stressful.

Selling boots AND your last 'real' purchase being a year ago is admirable and a quality expression of the level of constraint you uphold. Don't let others talk you down, you're doing great bemk.

I’ll sleep tonight now.

First world problems

Please don’t diminish my troubles. They’re real to me ok.

Dont worry, your not alone. I got them too

Any advice on the 236 last? I’m checking out some E fit Connaughts but not sure on the width. I normally stay away from E fit but 325 last works for me.

 

[Fenners81]

For reference, the 379 last is too narrow for me.
