I agree with tifosi. The square moc toe stiching of the Trubalance NST always throws me off. I have a similar problem (though less of one) with the Plaza NST (either shoe or boot).

Barrie and Aberdeen are the way to go for split toe, IMO, due to the more rounded toe. I wish there were more Aberdeen split toe boots (The Shoe Mart had these, but I haven't seen them restocked in a while).

I can't quite determine what model this is??....j/k j/k

Already breaking this TSM second in. Slightly wavy along one piece for the laces. Other than that, perfect finish on both shoes.

I hate to say this, but I really think I need the stock 975 along with my antique edged Leffot version...

For the holiday lunch: 9015s. My "Barrie-shaped" foot is really finnicky with balmorals, but the recent switch to Euro straight lacing has really helped.

Awesome! Enjoy the game and those beautiful shoes!

JCrew Natty CXL for me today. These are so comfortable.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

This is a really great looking boot! Can't wait to see how it breaks in and ages.

lol, I know what you mean Tifosi. I picked up the antiqued Leffot version after getting the classic 975. I was really chasing the antiqued edge so when I got it, I sold the 975. I kind of regret it now!!

Agreed although I'm not a fan of speed hooks :/

Bought my first Cigars from a fellow styleforum member *hat tip to Shouldaville*

loafers on the aberdeen last, first time with cigar and first time with the aberdeen - looking forward to getting them next week!

That's funny, sub. I knew that if I got the 975 instead of waiting on the Leffot version I would have done the same thing. So I just waited. Now I want the other anyway! Ugh.

Thanks to MDubs for sending me the most recent update of TSM irregulars. I tried to call and order the 403 in a 10.5D, and apparently I was way too late. The girl I spoke to said the phone rings off the hook as soon as they send out that list. I guess I'll just have to wait for the next one.

How often do they email updates on that list?

Also, anyone have an extra pair of 403 in 10.5D?
