~ 10 wears and just got them shined yesterday. Has broken in quite nicely to my feet. Classic line cap toe oxfords.

I bought a pair of UB301 in 34 and 36 waist. The 34 is pretty damn tight in the waist (definite discomfort) and the pockets are pretty useless at this point, can't really get my hands inside them, They fit pretty nice everywhere else...

To those who have worn these shoes a few times now, how fast/ how much does the leather stretch out? The oxfords are a tiny bit tight width wise. 

Mine left spain 6 business days after I paid. They are in Memphis TN right now according to tracking. Hard to believe it will take until the 10th to get to me in California??   Edit: I just got the "Fedex clearance delay"...

Just got the fedex shipping notification email from Sandro! Paid on 7/25, will arrive on 8/8. Not bad at all. Will of course post obligitory unboxing pictures of my captoe oxfords and double monks, both in black. 

I paid on the 25th, got an email the next day saying my shoes will be ready to ship "next week". I emailed back the same day to ask about an estimate delivery date but have not gotten anything back..
