Thanks, I do love shoes but I just tend to buy what I like in Italy, I'm really no expert on the subject! ;-) Let's see if it's feasible to have a dedicated forum, I think Christian would be a perfect mod! Cheers. [nt]

More shoe stuff...
Some of you saw my post about polishing my shoes on the Journe/Shoe forum. Unfortunately some members didn’t enjoy the shoe content. So until Bill opens that proper “shoe forum” .... It was time for the browns! A beer helps to keep up the morale. First so...
Maybe fashion in general...
...ties, cuff links, jackets, shirts, etc. I wear shorts and a t-shirt every day but I do appreciate the good stuff.
Yes, perhaps a better idea.
It needs to be defined a little bit but discussing style and attire is somewhat relevant to watches.
Thank you, count.
These get a lot of wear. Especially in Winter. They are triple soles. + 10 year old from JL. I don’t think you can tell. I think JL take extra well to polishing.
Thank you so much, dear Count.
You know shoes very well 😊 I have learned the hard way to choose conservatively and not compromise with the fit. Then just accept whatever the expense. It will be well worth it for the long run.
Thank you 😊 Yes, the Norwegians.
The others are John Lobb. The light brown with brown tips are Edward Green.
JM Weston and Edward Green shoes are wonderful
Don't have any Lobbs (yet) but love the Weston Half Hunt and Derby, as well as the EG Dover.
Many love the 180 loafer too, but I haven't tried it
And then there's the Hunt or Chasse, which is beautiful but very expensive.
The 180 will be next and I'm working out sizing
I'm a 9D in the Golf and am torn between 8.5 and 9 in the 180. Regardless, I'll pair this with a 14060M or PAM 587, just to keep this watch-related ;-)
Thank you for your kind words, Fab!
I have a bit of a fetish for nice leather products. Shoes in particular. It’s amazing how many cultural codes are embedded in the details of shoes. Sorry, can’t help myself LOL..when I met my wife she compared me to Imelda Marcos, but said I was better lo...
Very nice. I like shoes
but I like not wearing shoes more. At this point in my life I probably don't put on a civilized pair of shoes more than a few times a year, and thus will probably literally never buy another pair of shoes except exercise shoes or sandal-type shoes.
That’s too bad. I feel it is a bit like wearing a good watch.
The shoes is what connects you to the planet. Taking a walk in a well fitted pair of leather shoes is a tactile and aesthetic pleasure 😊
Thank you for saying that. I will do so with pleasure!
Next time I’m polishing, I promise I will take some pictures of what I do and make a write up with my best advice. Best Christian
Great work Christian....
I would have needed more than one beer for that ratio of shoe cleaning. ;-))
So, since it seems that this post is becoming our shoe forum anyway :)
I wanted to share a new acquisition with you all. A fresh pair of EG Galway Utah’s in Navy, just in today. Feels like getting a watch to me ! ...
Uh, I love them!
I can fully understand your joy! Thais a winner. Classic, with a touch of modern with the color. Maybe consider using a neutral polish on them so they dont turn black. I I have a couple of blue Weston 180 in and I do the same. I used a blue Sphir in thE b...
Thank you much! And great idea...
I ordered a jar of EG’s neutral polish just for these !
Mother always told me, "Never trust a man with unpolished shoes,".
Out of interest, what shoes are these? Bench made?
