These are very substantial on the foot, in a good way:

Awesome colour but then I like red shoes...

The Alden shell longwing in Whiskey is my favorite shoe. Outstanding color. Although the Darlton is a terrific shoe, I agree with you that it just isn't the same as the Alden Whiskey shell.

Brooks Brothers Shell Wingtip.I really love the plaza last!

2 new pairs of FAMs that just arrived, sorry about the poor quality of the pics?

^^thomas 7610, those Brooks codovans are great. I love the toe medallion, and the eyelets give them a nice retro/older school American look.

Fishball: 10 months???? holy crap

 

[Fishball]

Yes, ten months, I ordered it on 3rd Dec, last year. Pick it up last week.
The price also go up, up, and up!

 

[Toiletduck]

wow, why so long?

 

[Fishball]

They said too much orders, too few shoemakers.
Mine order is "faster" than many other orders since I am an old customer, using old lasts and don't want to fit.

How 'bout some slipper pron? After a long wait these arrived yesterday. And yes the family crest thing is totally pretentious, but who said I'm going to wear them outside the house?

I'm still not sure why JM Weston shoes get no respect around here, but the Chelsea boot is wonderful!
