Boot of the day - St. Crispins Tricolour Balmoral boot

The boot of the day is a St. Crispins three toned brogued balmoral boot. 
The boot is based on the 401 model and on a classic last, but here St. Crispin made a tricolour with three leather types. The bottom part is made of calf leather in burgundy, the mid section looks like shark or some form of crusted leather in mid brown. Lastly the top of the boot is in suede mocha colour. Nicely executed.

As you know, I am a sucker for balmoral boots, had to share this boot with you. Enjoy.

Rule number One for the AristoCat from Bown's Bespoke.

(Rule I )  THOU SHALT WALK ONLY ON LEATHERThere is something utterly vile about the way in which the footwear of Western men has been defiled by the widespread adoption of the ‘trainer’. I suppose it has brought huge profits to the manufacturers of these nasty items, but it has also done inestimable damage to the character, as well as the appearance, of our sex. Trainers are for training: they are not fit for respectable living. Nor should we countenance those shoes which, at an indifferent glance, look passable – but which have soles made from synthetic material. Men should wear leather shoes with leather soles.
