Guys: How Many Shoes?

[jjl5000]

Wow....those are beautiful though it must take FOREVER to polish them all.

But I :eusa_clap your collection!...

You are my buddy from now on. Post a lot.

lol Thanks for the warm reception and kind words. I look forward posting more shoes!

Welcome wagon.

Welcome to the Lounge JJL5000. Not a bad way to start with your post being such a home run. The British Tan Balmoral at the end is a killer. Bravo to you sir :eusa_clap .

Brian, is your avatar a shot of Timothy Hutton as Archie Goodwin? You and I both have spectators in our avatars.

Yes it is! He really got my interested in buying a pair.

Ribbon laces

Hey JJl5000,

Nice collection. I love the ribbon laces in your formal shoes. I tried to do that with my formals but could find ribbons that worked quite right. What did you use?

Cheers,

Church

Very nice! I especially like the two Adelaide throats - are they Tricker's Belgraves by any chance?

 

[Spitfire]

What a good question?

Send me head on into the cabinet...
Here they are. (Not that many really)

A strange mixture from Lloyds and different Italians to RAF Pattern 1936 Flyingboots and a pair of Corcorans Jumpboots.
Might say more about me than I first thought
(BTW: They ARE polished - the picture is out of focus!!! Sorry

Me to. I have twice as many shoes that haven't made it into the rotation yet.

A poster from the LL alerted my attention to Cleverley who had recently stocked up on silk laces. I phoned the store and they mailed them out pronto.

They are indeed. I am a big adelaide fan!

RAF Pattern 1936 Flyingboots

Spitfire, I take it that the black boots are the RAF's? They absolutly rock. Now those are "Real" boots.

Thanks Marty.Yes, top row far right.
Here they are from another angle. Beautifull boots.

And here in use:

Please tell me what those white ones are and where can I get some.

D_wegan - these didn't sell, but the seller might relist on request:

12 pair and still growing! I wear all of them and have a good rotation w/ them. I am very fond of the low vamp Italian shoes which are hard to find these days. I've had tremendous luck on eBay as I don't mind used shoes. Mostly used Cole-Haan Braganos but a few others makes as well. They all fit great.

This is my favorite.

Then of course I have my red shoes, which draw a lot of comments:

YESSSS! I just bought my second pair of Allen Edmonds. Their Ebay outlet store had the Dryden's in my size for only $129! I saw Matt Decker's post about how good the shoe felt, so I clicked back over to Ebay and hit "Buy It Now."

It is hard for me to find outlet shoes because I need a 3E.

Go me! Happy Valentines Day - to me! lol

Once you get into on AE or Alden, you're likely to become a happy addict, combing Ebay and the Internet for deals.

 

[The Shooman]

l have lots of good shoos, but l still have no way near enough shoos. l like lots of good shoos and l never have enough to be satisfied. Fortunately (being in Australia) there isn't many good shoos here (keeps the shoo-numbers down), so my list of 117 shoos (to purchase) will probably go down to about 50.

What l need to ease my shoo pain:

* 13 C&J shoos (various models....l need them all)
* 7 Dinkelacker handmade shoos (various models)
* 2 or 3 G&G shoos
* 2 Trickers
* 4 or 5 more Church's
* at least 1 (even 3 or 4) mantellassi norvegese handmades would ease my pain too.
* (afew other brands i'm working on)
