3 black C&J connaughts to go with navy blue suits
(=> 2 black pairs vacant - should I get cordomonks in black?)
3 Colour 8 Aldens (loafer, derby, monk)
1 pair New & Lingwood tassels, in tan
1 pair C&J cavendish suede tassels in dark brown
----------------------------------------------------------
3(+2 vacant spots) for business
5 for non-formal
BUT:
I also have one pair of Timberland deck shoes with commando sole
one C&J cordo derby full brogues (weird)
and other stuff
KEEP OR SELL
ANY OPINIONS?
First you must correctly place them in a shoe pyramid and contemplate the buy and sell options whilst listening to Moondog and focusing on what would Mafoofan do in my position, back in the day, before he eschewed cordovan # 8 for the life of a mountain man.
The rest should be a proud journey on Ebay or Etsy. Perhaps even, Craigslist.
you did not answer my questions
Of course not, I am a zen master leading you to your own sartorial resolution about style and everything.
The question can only be answered by you and no other. But I posted a reference to the infamous killers Leonard Lake and Charles Ng earlier, many of their victims were selling stuff in newspaper listings of the time. From that perspective, selling stuff is not always a good idea.
Your shoo collctions sounds truely wonderful. Don't sell any unless they are a poor fit.
Well I have now bought 4 pairs of C&J handgrade oxfords ("Audley") - they look much nicer on my feet. Will see whether to keep the Connaughts.
