Meermin. Carmina 2nd brand? - Page 217

Planning on buying a pair of the 101332 black wholecuts from the Classic Line:

 http://meermin.es/ficha_articulo.php?id=1920

They're on the Ama last.  I wear a 9.5E in the Allen Edmonds 8 last (Delray, Lasalle).  I was thinking of ordering a size US10 equivalent (so, size 9 at Meermin).  Any input on sizing for me based on the lasts?  I know the Ama last is a little narrow/tapered at the toe, so I do feel like sizing up a half size (especially since it will be a standard width rather than a wide) would be good, but if anyone has any more specific input/suggestions it'd be much appreciated!

I can see absolutely no practical purpose for these things...then again, that goes for a lot of the MTO stuff that people get...and that goes for G&G and the like as well.

That pair of MTO is not CBD or classic by any measure but is at the same time fashion forward enough to be pretty good looking, suitable for all casual outfits especially the goth ninja style.  Perfect use of black on black in four different textures; two grained leather textures and two sheen of black from suede.  Any other color will not look nearly as good.

p.s., as I commented on G&G MTOs threak, some of those MTO'ers have the taste of butchers from Dubai that won the lotteries (original credit to Fuuma).

I also had a clearance delay and I did not order shoe trees. 2 pairs of shoes though so I believe it mine was stopped because it was above a certain value.

I just know that shoe trees requires additional forms to be filled out due to wooden product import restrictions.

The Ama lists as a "soft square" , less elongated and tapered than the New Rey, but chiseled enough to not have the bulbous, round look so prevalent in so many AE models. Personally, the toe box gives enough space. The uppers are stiff initially, but nicely tight grained and an overall superior value.

Were you replying to me and my post regarding the black whole cut?  

If so, that all makes sense, and thanks for the input.  Can you post pictures of your shoes?  Thanks!
