Today's Shoes

Day

Edward Green austerity brogues in antique burgundy calf (Beaulieu model, 888 last). The shoes shown above are identical to my own except that they are on the 82 last instead of the 888. The picture is from LeatherSoul in Hawaii, which is my go-to source for everything Edward Green and Alden. Tom Park, who owns Leather Soul, is a good egg.

Evening

Gravati five-eyelet blucher ankle boot in dark brown peccary with a combination rubber/leather sole (15950, 640 last).

Just ran across your reference to the Gravati Peccary Laurence boot; I am interested in ordering it in black but can only find a side profile picture, and I am concerned about the shape of the toe. Can you help?

Thanks

So you know Johnny and Jim at Harold's in the Heights? Laurence is the 15950 with an extended sole on the 640 last, which is a nice, broad square-toe last. Here's a picture of another shoe made on 640:
