Nice, split toes are definitely a shoe that I'm lacking and will get some time.

Those pant cuffs are huge!

Ok finally remember to ask this question, who helped you guys to take shoes (when you guys are wearing it) photos? Same as I always see TM Instagram photos.

Apart from the Leica toting professional photographers, I take it myself when they are having their coffee break. :s13:

I think it's simply a matter of pointing your phone at your shoes at a certain angle and rotating the photo 180 degrees - at least that's how i do it

Hi all experts,
Seeking advice. Received my Loakes GYW from an online retailer. Got excited and wore it once. After that noticed this "defect". Does this warrant an exchange?

Pardon my poor knowledge, but i think this is the gyw welt joint, not a defect. Unless your not referring tot he welt.

The area highlighted does not represent a defect.
Typically, welting is done "270 degrees".
Meaning, the welt runs from the breast of the heel on one side, to the breast of the heel on the other side.
Over the heel seat, there is no welt, but it is replaced by another flat, narrow piece of leather, called a rand. It is usually attached by nailing.
At the area where the welt meets the rand, the lines may not be totally flush. Especially for RTW shoes. Some makers do it better than others.
To some, it may look look like an imperfection.
