@Heavy_blue If I may offer an alternative to Oak’s preference, I’ve been enjoying my suede taupe Bostons. The taupe only comes in the soft footbed however. Can’t go wrong either way. I’ll probably pick up some oiled habana Arizonas down the road.

[jerkules]

Got my wife some Bostons in the Oiled Tobacco colour and I really like them. I’m usually a suede/rough out guy, but if I were getting a pair for myself I’d defo be looking at the Oiled Havana like @Oaktavia ’s

[Mr Eddy]

Boston Birks are a deffo office/shop day standard
Sprinkle sparingly some 25/14/21oz selvedge and random off cuts for seasoning..

[SKT]

@Mr-Eddy I like this color and would have gone with them if my local shop had them in stock. Nice!

[Oaktavia]

@Mr-Eddy peace peace

[Mr Eddy]

@SKT yeah for sure, the colour is perfect and ages nicely. Got my eye on the olive green version next methinks..

[AdamJ]

Al and Steve have both been wearing Boston's a while. I got mine shortly before NYC and put them to the test there. Very comfy and nice not having to wear socks/sneaks in the heat. Currently contemplating what colour/material to get next!

[Fades for future]

@Mr-Eddy that selvedge upgrade on your birks is spot on

[Oaktavia]

@AdamJ I dig those black suede ones. I would recommend trying an oiled leather type next. That's what my first pair are made with and I think it would be cool to have one of each suede and oiled.. I might be after that black suede next.

[Brandrea]

Has anyone tried these shearling ones? Sorry if I may have missed an earlier post …

[scarfmace]

It's been 8y but I'm ready to let them go.

[Oaktavia]

and get a new pair in … pink?

[scarfmace]

@Oaktavia if these could talk ..

[cityofdelusion]

You could keep using them a lot longer if you have them resoled (the rubber outsole, suede insole and cork footbed) by a cobbler. The leather looks very much in tact and well broken in.

[Mizmazzle]

Yeah it’d be cool seeing a pair resoled after all this wear.

[scarfmace]

@Mizmazzle It'll cost more then a new pair though BUT if you want and pay for shipping, I'll send em to you

[Mizmazzle]

@scarfmace haha. That is tempting, but…pass!
