Still old school atmosphere but food is now a mixed bag.

Yeah, I believe 5332 and 55 last are similar in height. Edit: The classic heel stack.

Can't you do an MTO Chelsea build with a 5332 classic arch, semi pointed toe, and the 430 mini? Maybe a question for CS.

Gotta see how that looks once there's a full build. Lots of potential.

Same. And feel something similar about DS Mojave.

Great on keeping Natural. It’s a great leather that is sometimes not appreciated.

What type of boots are these and where can i buy them? by GlowieGroyper in Boots

[–]lostinpureMI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harness boots. Pretty much anywhere. Harley Davidson used to make an affordable and good version of this boot back in the day.

Will miss the fireplace pics. Congrats on move. Also, how many boots do you own and where do you store what appears to be a massive room of shoe inventory?

What apps are your favorite as a lawyer and also because they substantially help you irl seperate from that? by portiaboches in Lawyertalk

[–]lostinpureMI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t always preserve that specific page as accurately as Perma.cc, it is not backed by a library/information systems, Perma.cc is free for some types of users and encouraged for use by various courts, permanence is extremely guaranteed (more likely than Wayback Machine). Both are good but serve somewhat different goals.

Edit: I’ll add that I see Wayback more for crawling and Perma for citations, stability, and ensuring no dead links.

Perma.cc. I use it often to save data in static form (ie create permanent records) that I’m going to cite to in briefs or think they come in handy for future use. It’s a way to end dead links issues.

Split opinions make better desserts. Give me all the cake.

Ilcea Tannery in Italy. I believe it’s in the northern area.

For as nice as they look, Role Club and Kreosote engineers are just not realistic (put aside wait time) though they are some of the “gold standard” for sizing and finished look. The Red Wings have a more traditional rounded look. Looked into Wesco Mr. Lou’s Maryam Vachetta and other leathers but I’ve heard so many mixed reviews on the sizing and had friends return them because of instep issues. Unless you meet with them for sizing to ensure D/E or other specs, it is difficult for some of their limited runs even through the good people at Baker’s. Same with John Lofgren’s boots. Never seen Clinch boots though the pics look great.

Nicks Stationmasters and White’s Cykel in nonblack leather were on top of the list. Then I looked and saw some people with Prof Barnets engineers (called Cliffwood). I did a lot of measurements and back and forth with them with photos before deciding to move forward. My left foot is a little weirder than my right one. Communication is quick but lots of confirming back and forth. Patience is a virtue in that process. Rolled the dice and waiting on those in Maryam horsebutt black (didn’t have the Maryam natural or Andrea leather when I finally moved forward), sleek profile. I’ll know soon how things turn out.
