There is not a lot Justin doesn’t know about shoes/shoe care and leather care in general and am happy with the...

Good on you Clinton.
I love that Loake shop, bought a few pairs myself and always pop in when in town.

@ TaketheCanoli, very nice boots and I would love a pair of full grain boots but you need to loose the crossover of the laces across the tongue. A little unsightly and by loosing the crossover it...
