Hi Leaves, is there a possibility of another run of the Ed Green Galway in Heather Gorse or is Zug still not available? Thanks!

Bought the Bonafe Castagna longwing boots during the sale, but haven't really got a chance to post about them until now.

Is there any way to remove the laces with leather tabs, short of cutting them off? They've been laced in a shoe shop pattern which is really unflattering, and makes it really difficult to get the boots on or off since there's a very limited amount of room even when the laces are fully loosened. With those tabs it's impossible to even unlace them from the eyelets or retie them. It's a shame because they're really handsome shoes and I like the natural rope laces.

Yikes, you're right bkotkso! Thank you all for your input. What are the differences between the ileaca and the Zug from Horween?

Horween one is a bit stiffer than the Ileaca one, but more choices in colour. I think Ileaca has stopped producing Zug unless a big enough order appears.

I had the same problem. Bought them in early November. For me it was cutting off and glueing back without use of top eyelet. Awful thing, but what could I do...

Well we're mainly looking at launching boot stuff from Carlos Santos in a couple of weeks! Not much in the pipeline from Carmina until the spring season now.

Really want those grain split toes from CS. Shouldn't have slept on them. I know a lot of people are buying CS but not seeing very many wear pics or reviews of the shoes and how they're holding up. Would love to hear as I've yet to buy a pair.
