St. Crispin's Appreciation Thread

[Leaves]



@Leaves has been posting these on Instagram and now here trying to tempt me.... well it finally worked

Of course @Leaves this another pair of split toe's for my collection!!

I knew you could not resist for too long, just a matter of time!!! Alas, I think you are now so far ahead of me in the Battle of the NST I'm almost discouraged from posting mine. But it will happen.

The shoe trees in my chukkas were a bit of a pain at first but they got better over time.

One thing I always do with my Saint Crispin's is make sure the inside of the shoes dry before inserting the trees. Obviously, if you wait too long that's not good, but if I sweat and insert them immediately, they are always tougher to remove.

I've heard of putting baby powder on the trees to allow them to slide a bit more easily, I'm sure that could help, just don't put too much.

IMO, waiting for the shoes to dry before putting in trees somewhat defeats the purpose of them.

Are you going?

@Jsoftz and I will be there.

 

[Jsoftz]

Yup. I'm also meeting with NSM.

I'm just ordering a simple pair of captoe bals.

 

[TtownMD]

Well honesty I was not free but looks like I am and have been searching for a ticket if I can get a decent price I will be heading to NY but just depends upon the price. I have quite few of Stcrispin coming in hopefully soon been ordered. And it would be nice to also get sized & experience it in a trunk show.

Anyone that has had a personalized last made, can you describe the process? Who takes the measurements? How does it work? Thank you.
