Thanks. I just subscribed. I really need a pair of casual wingtips and that black pair with the natural sole color looks sweet. Oh yeah, i love these as well.  They remind me of the Trickers x End longwing: I prefer the brass eyelets but I forget the word that describes the brass vs. the simple holes punched in. Hope they come in Brown! And some tread would be nice as well. |

Hope they come in Brown! And some tread would be nice as well. "Blind" eyelets is the term I believe. I'd love to see these in Dainite. |

I like the casual derby longwings like the ones above (as well as the Thom Browne black pebbled ones) with thick soles. I think it's the exaggerated "widow's peak" above the toes that does it for me. Traditional brogues usually have a stubbier peak. I have larger feet (12US), and I think the longwings look a bit better in larger sizes.
Anyhow, I'm not a fan of your basic oxford grampa longwing.

Knowing most of you hate these, I can't help but lust after them. Thorogood "Portage" line - hard to find and not cheap, but not the most expensive on my list.   |

Whatever floats your proverbial boat. I'm just glad to know that googling 'bowling shoe work boot' brought those up on the first page. These must really work for you:  They didn't pop up until the second page. |

Your more recent pics actually make them look more interesting. Nothing weirder than Danners with red laces.

Bought em. From Japan to my door in 3 days! Who makes them? What do you think? The leather looks ?? In the pics but... They are made by Yoshi. The brand is 'Craft-Rite'. He makes 2 other models - a short engineer and a regular engineer. Really good quality (I cannot find a single fault ANYWHERE on these boots). The leather is steerhide. John's posted about them:http://vintageengineerboots.blogspot.com/search?q=craft-rite Yoshi's store: craftrite.fashionstore.jp you you need to email him or Facebook to order outside of Japan. |

Don't forget that Nick's, White's, Drew's...all can be made lace to toe. You need to wait but they'll be custom  |

 I'm going to get these once the money flows again... Which - black or brown? I've got nothing black, shoe-wise, sans my dressers for the Tux, so I'm leaning that way...  |

The Lone Wolf boots are great. The story History Preservation told me is that they are made in a small shop in Japan in batches. Once they're done, they're done for a year or so, until Toyo decides to make more..
