Thought we could do with a shoes/boot thread, as don't often see much discussion about them. At the moment im looking for some but nothing has really caught my eye. Anyone seen anything nice recently?

you're not as cool as you think you are so please give details of the items you post

really don't think there's an alternative to the lowndes

Yeah - minus the VAT I can deduct they are just a tad over budget, but seems like worth stretching it for something that should last a fair few years.

True to size, up 1 or down 1? Thanks.

Yeah - there are some nice Suede monks at Reiss too. Fucked if I ever buy expensive Suede monks, the weather over here will ruin them pretty much straight away.

Tried on the Lowndes today, but they didn't have my size in the one store in HK which stocks them. Beautiful shoe though.

Gonna have to hit up Jermyn Street when I get back.

Sound like Jacamo. Ugly gran shoes.

These have been posted before to mixed reaction. I like the tan ones though.
