    Balmoral Boots

    I thought FLers might appreciate these, as they are pretty old world even if brand new:













    Will I wear them with suits? You bet:

    Nice looking boots, but...

    Where are they from Manton please? and how much are they retailing for?

    And finally, have you pulled the trigger on buying a pair? (if or when you do, photos please!! thanks ).

    They are Edward Green, the Shannon model. And those are indeed mine; ordered in January, just arrived.

    I don't know what the UK price is. Over here they were in the low four figures. This boot is, I am told, never stocked; it's a special order only, and that raises the cost a bit.

    Nope. My other pair of dress boots came without them, and I really don't find them difficult to lace.

    Top laced.

    That is the most stunning pair of dress boots I've seen. My compliments to your taste level. Will you wear them with a tropical weight suit? Or keep them with a lofty fabric?

    Probably not, though I am tempted to get a pair in Edwardian, a light brown/dark tan with some orange underdones. Those would look nice with summer suits.

    maybe too early to tell

    but have you yet formed an opinion re the quality compared to other shoes in terms of comfort, materials etc.?
