I keep these in my work truck for when I have to deal with waste paint. Sadly, they are probably the most comfortable shoes I own. 😉

Mellowed golden peanut brittle or “butterscotch”. Either way a favorite color.
Tony Lama.

A one piece vamp (as opposed to three) is ideal, especially when perfectly matched back to the heel counter on both boot.

Now conditioned for our Fall/Winter.

My Blunnies gave up the ghost after 10 years and now they are no longer Australian I’ve gone all Redback.
Off to Timpson for a re-sole.

I was told years ago that toe design is/was called a Norwegian Toe.

C&J always a favorite of mine.👍

Blundstone 550s.

I took them off to photograph them (but cleaned, most of, the mud off them first)

Hallo friends of leather shoes,
  • I have this pair of 'Derby Wingtip Brogue Calf' shoes made to my measures by my shoemaker in Islamabad (1).
  • Btw. my name 'Knirim' comes from 'Knie-Riemen', a leather strap that the shoemakers used to fix the shoe on their knee to work bothhanded (2).
So I am historically oblieged to wear hand made shoes, elegant and well fitting for town strolling (not for the bush walks).
Konrad

PS1: to my personal name history I add an extract of Berlin adressbook of 1939 with all these different name versions. My father Ewald is the second last entry.
Btw. he was not a shoemaker but a clark in a government office, but was kicked out in 1935 as he, a practicing catholic, refused to join the Nazi party (I still have the documents).

PS2: And a grand grand uncle of mine, Wilhelm, emigrated with wife, mother and brother in 1862 to the US and founded the little town Knierim in Iowa, where Bonny & Clyde robbed the Knierim bank in 1934:

And sorry, if a shoe thread is welcome in an Omega Watch Forum (@TexOmega fit it best) then a shoemakers family name history may also be ok for this thread.
