Will let you know - so you went for tan and brown also then?? Personally, I ordered these for a more slobby pair/s so may not be too critical if there are slight imperfections in the toes. Depends though obviously.....
Anybody else received theirs yet?
Mines are sitting at home will report back later.Anybody else received theirs yet?

Had my two pairs of Loake Chukkas delivered today. Unfortunately they'll have to go back. 
The brown ones had a mark on them across the front. Wouldn't come out with a suede brush and it's in quite a prominent position.
The tan ones seem 'worn' at the front. It's just like the image on the website, if you look closely hopefully you'll see what I mean. I assumed they'd just picked a poor example to photograph.
Probably a manufacturing issue and why they ended up in TK Maxx.
Real shame as the previous ones I bought were great. Hopefully the other members who placed an order will have better luck.
I think it was fashionable a while ago for the manufacturers to burnish the toe and heels of Suede boots, as shown in this more extreme example from Church (factory finish).The brown ones had a mark on them across the front.

Not A huge fan of that look either to be honest but it might appeal to some. Definitely gives the boots a more casual "distressed" look.

I must have missed the "dress like a t

i don't normally like most of jeffrey west's wares. They have a boutique in manchester where i occasionally visit for a very brief look to confirm this, but i have to say yours are a rather nice pair of boots!t" part of the memo and got these instead.

No more new shoes.
But I broke out the latest addition to the sock collection this morning.
Swerni approves, in fact he's on his way to buy some now

I managed to pick up some rather fine shoes.
Crockett & Jones Weymouth from their premium "Handgrade" range.
As you can see they are wholecut (uppers made from one piece of leather) and have an oak bark tanned leather sole with hidden stitching. They really do feel high quality.
If anyone's after a brand new and unworn black pair of the G.J. Cleverley version of this shoe ("Alan" from the Bench Made range, made for them by C&J) in an 8 1/2, send me an email via my profile.Crockett & Jones Weymouth from their premium "Handgrade" range.

I think the line has to be drawn somewhere ,here might be a good place ,fking awful.
I'm always loathe to pay out for something mundane, my trusty comfortable but boring Rockfort's expired recently so I'm forced to purchase new shoes and these caught my eye - but are these shoes a step too far? (the red on both pairs is darker than they appear in the image)
Interested to hear everyone's thoughts!
Cheers!
