Real talk: in stitches you would benefit a lot from a last like this.


very possible, plausible even. more than likely you might say.

he won't listen :foo:

I agree
I think he will, it doesn't have to be the budapest , Vass F or P2 would be perfect, C&J 325 is a fine last, 337 as well. All those look great on the feet irl.


this is all fine and well, but i just cant get myself to buy a round toed shoe. i just find the lack of angles unappealing. no hate to those who do, they often look great. but i just havent climbed that hurdle yet.

one day maybe, you never know. a lot has changed since i got here, much more will i am sure.

and if i do, ill be sure to blame thank you all profusely. :)

the trousers snuck into the picture. Glad to see the shoes cleaned, almost panicked when I saw them earlier.


on a side note, what do we think of these shoes for more casual wear. could be cotton trousers/linen sportcoat or just denim

I am leaning towards the blue because I dont want it to be too dressy, definitely for a relaxed look
thoughts?
