Thanks!

I placed it in June so about 6 months which was what I had expected since i've heard that the mto waiting time has gone up somewhat.. I read somewhere on SF that someone waited more than 7 months

Thanks for the feedback on their maiden voyage. Glad to hear that they seem to look good on my feet. As I was telling Despos yesterday, part of the reason I went with the deco was because I have short narrow feet. The little bit of extension makes them look just a touch longer, and the striking taper of the toe makes the ball of my foot look wider in comparison. Those were my reasons. I'm sticking to them.
The one thing that I noticed which concerned me, and hopefully ya'll can help, was that it appeared there is a very thin piece of leather over the fore of the shoe, and when inspecting them last night, I noticed a small gap at the toe between it and the rest of the sole.


Ahh, Very good information regarding how this last fits your particular foot and build. I have pretty short and somewhat narrow feet as well. And this is part of why I like longer lasted shoes.

Can you show a pic of that loose piece of leather?
