I've had one of his shirts before, highllyyyy underrated brand IMO, material and construction was legit for the price. Not sure about the footwear though....

Don't buy Guidi if you have anything other than narrow feet.

Welllllll, ****. I thought I had found my jam.

Anybody have any suggestions for a similiar profile/ quality in horse...but for wider feet?

Time to start this whole laborious finding-a-black-boot thing from the beginning. Just some brands to get me started would be appreciated. And thanks eck and others for help with the stupid Guidis.

Edit: nvm i know there a ton of brands, i'll start looking again and maybe ask for help when i've narrowed it down

What size are you? I will find you some Carpes.

Did you want lace ups or zip ups?

Lace ups probably but I'm down for some zips if they are the right ones. To be clear, I'm not looking for anything refined. I tend to beat the hell out of my clothes and I like clothes that not only take it, but look better because of it.

So as far as boots go, I'm looking for something that I can wear everyday, that require minimal care, and will look better with age.

Will pair mostly with denim.

I thought I had found the answer with Guidis...so I guess that aesthetic, but for a wider foot.

Edit: size 44/45 in most.

 

[gettoasty]

anyone think i can solicit answers over on SZ about nicolo ceschi berrini footwear?

seems like most of these artisan brand footwear fit slim : (

i am nearly flat footed.

Total anecdotal evidence, but for the price range, Jun hashimoto boots seem to have a lot better quality/construction and better/more interesting leathers than WJK boots. WJK is still a higher profile brand in Japan, and carries a premium that I don't feel is worth it. Jun Hashimoto's bridle leather, waxed heavy horse, destroyed horse, cordovan, etc. are all as good as Carpe was using.

Jun Hashimoto basically copies Carpe too, while the WJK toe box is slightly different. I don't like the shape as much, but it's barely noticeable when worn.

I just recently read about why Jun Hashimoto left WJK. I knew about the connection to CDiem/Altieri. I agree- if you going the WJK route look into Jun Hashimoto instead (or at least).

I don't know you mean buy Guidi range- It's all over the place. That being said I just a got a brand new pair of Cdiem 7 holes for what some Guidi models cost- it will be my new beater boot for rainy days.

I don't know you mean buy Guidi range- It's all over the place. I can probably get a special ordered 995 or 795Z for under 700usd later this summer. That being said I just a got a brand new pair of Cdiem 7 holes for relatively cheap- it will be my new beater boot for rainy days.
