The Olfe last has a beautiful waist

Couldn't be happier with the toe taps

Couldn't resist
For those wanting a comparison, this is the Carmina Robert last on the left and Olfe on the right. They are very similar in shape and size. The Olfe comes a bit higher up on the heel which is a good thing for me.

Great looking shoes. Could you tell me when you placed your order?

Kev777, same question to you. I am looking forward to seeing the finished version.

Hi Gyasih As soon as i have them in my mucky paws they'll be posted !! Just for info a couple lads have asked me to post pics of my DM's after 2 months or so of wearing, theyve been worn about 12-20 times or so over that period and i must say not hard just mainly in the evenings for social events and dropping into the pub......... so here they are and i have to also say i look after them !!!

I took Fritzl,s and others advice and applied Dubbin to the soles and have to say it seems to work in keeping them looking Ok and a bit of resistance to the wet elements so I've now started applying a thin layer to most of my shoes now thumbs-up.gif

My Chinese counterparts are very much kept under lock and key. It is very hard for them to even get a visa to leave the country for business meetings. The government is in control of so much more than it might appear (IMO).
There is no easy answer here.

You do realize that the host countries issue the Visas, right?

Are these cordovan by chance? I have some MTO dark brown cordovan DMs coming with York soles (cuz of the rain) and if they look like yours, I will be quite happy.

Sadly, mine are still 8-9 weeks away.

EDIT: Nevermind, they don't look like cordovan on my pc, just my phone.
