I wear DMs all the time, and I love them, but these are the first hard-leather ones I've had in a while, and I'm remembering just how much I hate breaking them in!
I was torn between the shiny and the non-shiny variants. My original pair were non shiny. As you know, somewhere in the packing are the shiny ones.....
Fourteen. These don't come in shiny (well, they don't come in non-shiny any more - this is 'vintage' stock), but I have a pair of shiny eight-holes as well.
When I implied this was a boot emergency I may have been exaggerating ;-) But I do prefer the tall ones with zips for everyday wear.
There are some lovely ones there, aren't there? The top ones - red with gold stars - I very nearly bought for my wedding. Sort of wish I had, actually.

Tell me the source , o master, pleeeeease?
