If there was still a Best Of B&S, those gray boots woulda made the cut.

Long time, no see; hope all is well!

Unfortunately, I havent been able to wear my Bontonis due to work and also they were just a hair too snug. I have listed a few of them on the bay and am happy to sell to any member here via DM.

Thank you sir! Doing well for sure! Me and the wife are expecting our first child in May and so I had to thin out my closet.

Got these on the styleforum B&S, couldn't resist any longer. They are fur lined, very comfortable.

Anyone have experience w/ Bontoni sizing WRT to their Conte Max loafers?
I am also keen on their rounded/almond lasts if anyone is able to offer insight into the fit, esp around instep, compared to some well-known Carmina/TLB/CJ lasts.

Just picked these 2 pairs of beauties up. Absolutely gorgeous. I used to swear I’d only ever wear black oxfords with a suit but I think I’m becoming a changed man - these Bontonis are stunning and quickly becoming 2 of my favorite pairs of shoes.

Very nice.

While always a failsafe option, I've always thought of black shoes a somewhat boring option, except for when a level of formality calls for it.

That burgundy museum medallion toe is sweet.
