A fickle and delicate beast

This event reaffirmed just how many wears a pair of high quality Goodyear welt (or in this case, stitchdown) footwear can withstand before even needing a resole. I’m already thinking about how to take this principle and apply it to future casual footwear purchases beyond just service boots and my may dress shoes.

It was probably a really poor choice given this leather isn’t a patina monster, but when I began this journey I was working an office job with pretty “business” business casual dress. I always loved the look of Shinki, so when Viberg dropped this makeup I had to strike.

How did you determine your size?

Compared to Other Lasts

Trial and error. I’m a “one down” guy from brannock.
