Get a pair of Nikes

Cut them in half before you make a decision. Then buy Nicks work boots.

Have you been watching this guy's videos too?

The vids made me realise how sharp blades could actually be

What is this junk lol

"It was, as I feared, chrome tanned."

edit: I can't believe I watched that. Conclusion: "The shoe is alright, but not as good as this completely other product that is roughly the same price"

Tbf the guy does elaborate

I agree with the analysis that a similarly priced product has better construction and leather quality. To me that translates that you are paying more for design than materials or craftsmanship. Which might be fine to you.

It's made me less interested in CP though.

I really like this service boot and the sizing is right. It is a "second" as it seems the right boot is darker/oilier than the left boot. If I was planning on keeping them pristine, this may be a problem. I could also try washing it like I wash my suede shoes but, of course, the risk is that it doesn't lighten up like the left.

I have included pictures of the the boot with "full patina". Obviously, once they get to this level, the original color doesn't matter as much. They are natural CXL and are expected to darken.

Price is $165 off or ~22%.

No ****. He might as well compare it to a Roomba cut in half. "Get rid of the shank, use higher quality leather and increase the size of the dust bin"

Good input on this thread!

Any-who, I reached out to the store and asked them if they could improve the price all things considered. I told myself that if they did I would cop. They agreed to an additional $100 off so 35% discount.

Works for me and I pulled the trigger.

Want to purchase an in-between black loafer that serves both casual and formal. I have a high instep and the most loafer vamp dig into the instep when I tried it on. I have only tried on Carmina, where I need to go half a size up. I'm currently debating between these four loafers (alden, carmina, CJ, Jm weston). Thank you

If you can get a good fit, I would go for the JM Weston 180s for sure. One of the iconic loafer styles.

I always wanted to try them but haven’t found a retailer in LA that carry them, which website do you recommend buying to it on?
