Not really a problem unless I wear them with shorts

My first pair. I'd always dismissed them because of the cost but I've decided not to be tight anymore and just go for it.

They are worth it.

I'm sure they are, just more than I can afford to drop on a pair of boots right now . One day though. Enjoy

Anyone got any experience with Ferragamo? I can't spell their brand name for the life of me, but I have seen some shoes that fit me and wondered how they are for quality?

My three pairs of "decent" shoes have just had a polish, I thought it was worth a group shot with my new "Anatomic Gel Co" shoes for my works travel.



Top left: Crockett & Jones "Bradford" Dark Brown Calf on Dainite sole
Bottom left: Church's "Lanark" Walnut Nevada on leather sole
Top right: Anatomic Gel Co "Manduri" black leather on Dainite-style rubber sole
Bottom right: Barker "Jonny" black calf on leather sole

The new shoes look fairly formal but are supremely comfortable and supple. The insole is nice and squishy which really helped when having to walk around all day.



ETA: There is a new John Lobb shop next to the departure gates at Paris Airport if anyone is heading that way. I have a good look at the shoes but at €1000 Euro a pop, the prices were a little too ripe for me.

I've just got my shoe tree's - first set.

How far towards the toe are they meant to go? My shoes seem a lot more angular than the tree so there's a reasonable gap it's missing out..

I wouldn't worry about the very front of the shoes not completely filling out. The trees would have to be modelled on the exact last that was made to make the shoes if you wanted to completely fill the shoe.

The important area is where the leather creases. The trees should pad this area out to minimise the creases. When the trees are in, you can push them further in with your fingers if you feel the "creased" part of the leather isn't taught enough.

I like quality tassel loafers. Those will look better when they are broken in and they have lost some of their triangular shape.
