It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game.
any idea which model boot that is ? the Alfred Sargent site doesn't seem to feature it.
Maybe a make up look at these http://the-shoe-snob.blogspot.com.au...-perfetto.html
thanks Cookie. some of those 'Perfetto's look good. don't seem to be available in the UK though.

i wish. although i'm looking for lace-up balmoral boots rather than button, i wouldn't pass up the chance for some vintage button balmorals in my size (10.5)
sold for £261 !
Boy do they need some Pecards.
vintage shoefinders ! (Issh and Cookie this means you); i'm looking for some vintage balmorals with contrast uppers along these lines :
... in a UK 10.5
(i realise the above is a derby boot, and a balmoral is traditionally oxford fastening. either will do)
please PM me if you have anything similar for sale.

Couldn't find a thread about Balmoral Boots so I though I would get it started
Here's a Pair I got from around 1900-10 and I've kept them in the condition I found them, the leather may look dry and cracked in the pictures but the leather is actually in great shape and still soft and pliable, they are just very worn in
