New shoe day!

I ordered two new pairs of shoes on Cyber Monday, capturing some great deals. The TLB Mallorca shoes for Mallorca Spain arrived a week before Christmas. These came from the same city but via Cobbler Union. Not exactly breaking speed records but one of their customer service representatives kept me up to date throughout the process.

These are my first Chelsea boots in about 15 years and I knew nothing about men’s shoes at the time. I also recently retired my last pair of suede shoes. Therefore, these babies fill two gaps in my wardrobe. Their beautiful deep brown is fantastic and I am in love with the soles of the shoes. They also seem to fit excellently. One disappointment is that I expected lasted shoe trees and these are not even boot shoe trees. I do welcome any feedback on Chelsea boots benefitting from boot trees vs. just shoe trees (having or missing an extension beyond the ankle).
