Thanks, Tony!  Yes, they are mine.  Since I'm a bit crazy about collecting shoes, I probably only wear each pair maybe 10-20 times per year.

That + I've got my shoe creams & buffing wheel in my office, so I polish them (not the shells, of course) just about every time i wear them to work.

With shell, I've seen them get better with age, so I guess I need to wear these out more.

I think he's talking about the first pair, not the 2nd one.

Interesting observation Isshinryu, is it the cordovan leather or burgundy that the screen is colour blind too? Perhaps Shooey knows.

Currently drinking a Glengoyne 10 year old, un-chillfiltered and way too good and strong for a school night. Oh well, I will learn.

Well, it is G- who has enlightened us. At least that Alden #8 is a deeper burgundy than Allen Edwards.

l found out the reason why the shops aren't selling the big fat Santoni norvegese models in Oz anymore, no-one likes `em. l tried to talk the buyer into getting some pair for next year. l'm really hoping he'll come through and get some pairs.
