For the love of split toes

Purchasing one, does not preclude a future purchase of the other. I have a number of boots from other manufacturers in the Galway style, but no split toe boot. Those Alden NSTs are particularly attractive. I really like the way they did the rolled stitching. I agree with Watchman that this is perhaps the finest example of that style.

I have been waiting for the Galway I want to appear for sale. While waiting, I might as well explore this nice piece. The only other boot I have thought to buy is the EG Doak Shannon, now here's another one to put on the list.

I'm getting anxious for a new boot as the summer comes to an end. I'm still waiting delivery on a Bonafe MTO from January. I think I'm the last in this crowd to be getting them. I finally received an invoice 2 weeks ago from Skoak, and an email yesterday with the shipping info. I was beginning to wonder if they'd arrive in time for Fall. Not that it would be a total drought, as I still have 2 Carminas, and 2 Meermins that arrived in early Spring and have not yet been worn.

momsdoc, correct me if I'm wrong but you don't do cordovan right? Have you seen any Alden calf NST boots around? I've been able to find some in chromexcel but that's it.

Since we're talking about split toe boots, have looked at the EG Nevis or the G&G Thorpe?

I can't compete with some of the boots here, but I've bought these Allen Edmonds Portland boots on ebay and though they've been shipped to my sister-in-law in the US, I'll hopefully get them in October.

Lightly used, and they look to be Shoebank seconds, but only due to a tiny mark.
Hopefully they fit.

Split toes in the house!!!!

There's a number of things that I like about these boots. The fact that I've been meaning to get a split toe boot for one, the fact that the apron is hand
sewn is two, they are in grain is always a plus, and the fact that this Last works so well is another.

I like split toes also.:)

In my closet: Alden #8 on Aberdeen, #8 on Plaza on commando sole, cigar shell on Aberdeen, and Brooks C&J Peal brown pebble grain on Dainite sole. Jonesing for some Aldens in mocha kid suede on Aberdeen.

I thought I had special ordered some EG Dovers from Brooks on the 888 last in a D width, but a year later nothing had happened.

The Richmond caught my eye too, though I'd like to see it in the flesh before I splash out on a pair.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the Alfred Sargent Charlton. It seems to have migrated from the Country to the Exclusive line since I bought my pair, and hence has gone up in price a bit, but is a lovely shoe which has become one of my favourites.

Perhaps my favorite pair of split-toed shoes is a pair of Alden's All Weather Walkers, equipped with Alden's leather toe tipped plantation crepe soles. They look great and feel even better on the feet! :thumbs-up:
