Architect shoes (boots).

God you're an insufferable bore sometimes.

what you doin with them laces boy?

God you're an insufferable bore sometimes.

Play nicely...

Not my boots. Nice though.

The Quest for Cordovan continues...

Not bad for you

Actually, just noticed the hiking lacehooks....WTF!?

I like the pattern.

^^^ Too shiny.

Plastic shoe trees 99p a pair in Ikea. Good strong springs.

God you're an insufferable bore sometimes.

Jesus SP, and I'm the defensive one..!? ;)
What were you expecting? Praise?

Do I have to pick one? Praise or tired, secondhand jokes?!

yes please

Badass.

Most of all I like the leather. Cordovan has such a great lustre. Plus I always like the flat, waxed laces on Aldens (if that's what are). Plus I like the photo - some guy (or girl) is happy with their new boots.

This made me lust for the wolverine 1k cordovans again... Not sure they're worth their price though(?)

WTF!

Passes out

lol

Let me guess, the plastic 'toe' will rot my shoes?

Give over.

shoes don't grow on trees??

Half the point of shoe trees is that the wood absorbs the moisture sweat from the inside of the leather. Though I'm not sure it's that big a deal. I was lolling at B'n'D's OTT response.

Now then, I've just pulled said budget stretchers out of the boots I'd been wearing all day.

They've got significant rivulets of perspiration on them.

Withdraws humbly.

To the shed: We sharpen chisels at dawn.

Jesus Christ, what a fanny.

Now now, girls... Play nice...
