I am interested. The one at Paul & Friends are nice as well, but this is nicer. And we all know that the devil is in the details. But the color of the high balmorals is very nice as well.

Please also add more sligthly lower boots to the range aswell, like seven eye lets, with or without speed hooks, in calf and/or cordovan. Think the black Carmina calf on dainite you have on the site. Though not black smile.gif

Tried this one from skoab. Found out I need to size up for the robert last and had to return it. I was really impressed by the york sole though and wanted to share some pics. I was somehow under the impression that it would be sewn on top of a normal leather sole, but it's actually really well integrated. I would definitely buy another shoe with it.

Am not sure if I have as much spare at the moment as I am also looking for a MTM suit.

If you don't have money as a student then buy cheaper shoes, quite an easy concept but seems like so few students can grasp it

Nah, will rather buy one pair of quality shoes than 2/3 pairs of cheap ones which aren't to my liking esthetically.

Then buy the calf versions? Or wait on the MTM? Does a student really need a MTM suit?

I am really thinking about these: http://www.skoaktiebolaget.se/news/carmina-80188-oscar-marron

 

What you think? As these practicly would be my first "real" shoes (besides my RM williams). As a student, i would like to buy a pair which works with almost anything, and these seems to take those criterias.

 

Btw, i'm definitly coming to Skoaktiebolaget in near future.

Personally am not a fan of six lace styles as well as heel "caps", but a dark brown plain stitch captoe is definitely a very versatile shoe and this pair of Carminas a great looking so.
Great thing you have the chance to visit skoaktiebolaget in person.
Let us know how the different lasts fit you smile.gif

So you prefer, a more plain heel? Can you link a shoe that you do like in the style i linked. 

 

I live in Stockholm, so no problem getting there ;)

I ordered a pair of Vass Chelsea on the F last at the beginning of the week:

Mine will be in black, have a 5 lace construction and a single leather sole without toe tabs though.

I'm gonna grab these late to early next year (Oh they were already posted icon_gu_b_slayer%5B1%5D.gif)

 

 

Thanks in advance :)

Really love some help on this one and sorry for the repost :)
