Ha! That is more than HangerProject, who would charge $14 for the product plus $7 for shipping, to total $21... I guess I just need to buy a load of supplies... What do I need?

Quick Question guys - heading down to new orleans for a bachelor party this weekend. Was thinking of rocking color 8 lwb and lhs. Are these shoes too nice and will they just get ruined? Better off rocking a pair of beaters? Sorry if too off topic but curious what you all do in these situations.

Never - im basically 90% sure anything i bring would get ruined so leaning heavily towards old school sperry boat shoe beaters.

$7 for shipping isn't all that bad. It just sucks that you are only buying one thing. I probably couldn't ship you my bottle for $7.

agreed 100%

go and enjoy yourself to the fullest and do not concern yourself with the conditions of your footwear while doing so

LoL, yeah, it is okay. Just hate paying 50% of the items cost just on shipping. But I agree, it isn't too bad.

Definitely wear beaters, unless you want to do a before-after challenge for shoe care.

Probably the best idea. If anything. No leather soles.

Mike,

Enter promo code "Styleforum" when you go to check out of THP. It will give you a 10% off discount even if it is under $75.

Your best option is to call and make friends with the folks on the phone there. They're CS is stalwart.

Thanks!

Quote: Thanks guys. Was genuinely curious what you guys do in these situations. Usually if I know I'm going to a crowded bar/club etc I wear beaters. It seems most of us spend time acquiring and caring for our shoes and wardrobes in general. I do feel a little strange throwing on some beaters when I have nicer shoes on the rack. Kinda throws the whole outfit off if that makes sense. But I appreciate the comments and will bring the boat shoes with me.

LoL, thanks! I may get overshoes. A friend of mine swears by them for rainy days, whatever those are... ;-)

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Someone requested to see these, so I thought that I would share them here. They are from the recent ShoeMart Cigar LWB drop. [COLOR=A74345] [/COLOR]

And the shoe of the day is the Snuff Suede LHS for a day at home out of work sick.

Only on this thread would someone not only put on a great pair of shoes and jeans while home sick, but also take several great looking photos of the shoes to post online! I feel absolutely terrible at work today and already plan on taking the morning off, and I can tell you I'll be in slippers and gym shorts in the morning.

Thanks guys.
That is a thing of beauty! Excellent trifecta.
What a Tuesday!
I really like the grant last too.
Are you sure those Indys aren't too wide? That huge toe box must be annoying

Hahaha, I love the indy's. Sounds like you had a pretty productive week though, too. Alpine Grain CT Boots, Leffot LWBs and a CXL Indy? You're on fire!

Wow Chris. Congrats. Instant enviable collection!

Thanks Russ! I need to sign off of this forum per the advice of my financial planner.

Hallecks are my #wcw

Mine too! These are phenomenal. I was immediately glad that @BenLeaman grabbed the last size. However, it didn't change the fact that I still want them.

Chris - awesome boot! Congrats dude!

Thanks saz!!

I'm a 10D on Grant and 9.5D on Trubalance. I was on the TSM list back in the summer and was next in line I guess for the DC Ravello CT's. As always, these things just get confirmed out of nowhere and arrive at the same time!

Anyone know of a good place to get Saphir Reno'mat where I don't have to pay for shipping (or reasonably priced shipping) on an order below $75? I really don't want to spend $75 on shoe care products today... Thanks!

-Mike

I paid $15 shipped for a bottle from ebay a couple months ago. There were lots of options available at the time I bought, but looks like none available on the bay right now. I bought them from THIS user, might be worth a shot messaging him to see if he has any more available.
