The Military Boots from Brogue. They look like Indys.

Edit: I just changed out of them. This sqeak is out of control. I can't mitigate it for more than a few minutes. Baby powder is not very helpful, and once the Bick 4 soaks in after about 20 min it squeaks again.
I had a similar squeaking issue on one of my shell NST boot, and Alden suggested to use some parafin/wax on the tongue ( and underside of eyelets area). That took care of it

Speaking of shoes not often seen around here... Maiden voyage today of the tobacco saddles on plaza from Adam.

#8 PTB 2nds came today. Better than I expected, only “flaw” I can find is the one panel is slightly “puffy” where it attaches it’s hardly noticeable, especially when tied.

My feet tuned to be biggest at night/morning I’ll need to try them on again later. Hoping these will work!

another batch of seconds on TSM. looks like a big batch.
the sorting by newest defintiely doesn't seem to be working right so I'd take the time to actually look through all pages of your size. thankfully did that and got a pair of color 8 PTB in my size

Glad for your pickup. A great shoe. Sadly, there are 424 pairs of seconds and not a single one in 11 EEE. Not even the ugly ones. Sad face. :censored:

A few new options in my size at TSM w/ the recent seconds drop. The Leffot tankers are the most appealing but I just purchased the AoM mini-tanker and also have Yenni’s Dr. Jones in 8 so I’ll pass. In addition, I finally pulled the trigger on Adam’s original makeup (style not necessarily color combo) the AoC 25. I’ve been on the fence for a year and luckily the pair my size was still available. Received last week...
