@Leaves For the GG Burnham GMTO, how much are the trees if you order them with the boots?

I recall that they are more expensive if you order them after the fact. Which is what i have to do for my upcoming St. James...

The G&G shoe trees are 1200 SEK ex VAT but please note that they do not make special shoe trees for boots.

Ah okay, any idea when GMTO's will be allowed?

On another note, would anyone be interested in a GMTO in any of the following, going to try and get at least one in before the price increase.

So, Simpson last, split toe blucher in brown grain.

In this leather.

I was thinking perhaps Dainite sole as well?
Museum Calf, Simpson Last, Perforated Captoe.
So this style


in this leather


What's with the stitching on this by the way? Looks a little off too me.

We are not sure and it depends on how the shortage situation on the market develops during the year. However, we are having close contacts with Carmina and when any supplies are available you guys are the first to know.

I ordered the G&G trees and they were 1200SEK ex VAT.

Skoaktiebolaget trees were 640SEK ex VAT.

Correct

GMTO #5 G&G Mailman

A GMTO (with no additional MTO surcharge) for the G&G Rothschild would be 7040 SEK ex VAT per pair and where G&G lasted shoe trees are 1200 SEK ex VAT extra.

This price is only good until the end of February.

Let's Get This Done Before it becomes even more expensive.

Model : G&G Rothschild
Last : MH71
Soles : Ridgeway
Welt: Storm
Color : Chestnut Hatch Grain

This is a winterized version of Gaziano & Girling's classic Rothschild oxford. With a storm welt and Ridgeway soles, it's tough enough to get you through rain, sleet, snow, and anything else that the season may throw your way. Made in beautiful chestnut hatch grain, it pairs well with blues and greys.

Participants so far, for this GMTO:

Getting in on that G&G Thorpe.
Now, just to figure out sizing

How much are trees when ordered without the GG shoes?

Have you emailed Gabriel @Skoaktiebolaget for sizing recommendations?

They used to be about 200 SEK more expensive when ordered separately, but G&G have decided to drop this policy from March 1st. I think the whole mandatory shoe trees policy kinda backfired on them. Just speculating.

Some Bonafé MTOs.

Bonafé 2364 on the 946 last

Bonafé 3200MOD on the 946 last (GMTO)

Bonafé 3540 on the 804 last (GMTO)

Bonafé 3540MOD on the 74945 last (I think, don't have the full specs with me)

Bonafé 3725 with a prototype reverse patina that we're not happy with so we won't offer it at the moment, needs more experimentation.

 

[NAMOR]

^ wow, at first glance the monk looks like EG westminster. EB 946 last looks alot like EG's new 890 last

Sounds good to me, i'll be sending you an email for a pair of trees on my future St. James pair...

Yep, sure have.

IMO, the 890 looks like a breed between Bonafé 946 and EG 888. The 946 is still more chiseled, I think Edward Green should have gone all in with the 890 and made it even more chiseled as they will still have the 888 as a soft square last. I'm not saying I dislike the 890, on the contrary, but I think they should have gone a notch more aggressive.

So they're going to keep the 888. This is good news.

 

[dddrees]

Yep, sure have.

It's going to be about 6 months, but I'm already stoked.

Well, you're still in the right country for shearling lined boots, that's for sure. I don't think we shipped many to Hong Kong!

On a different topic, I want to thank everyone who participated in the Enzo Bonafé MTO promo. We were honestly overwhelmed. @GabrielOB has literally been working around the clock all through January. A giant thank you to him and to all you guys who finally decided to try out Enzo Bonafé, and of course our returning Bonafé clients. You are all awesome.

Thank YOU Patrik - it was a great idea that was obviously very well received by the forum members. Thanks to Gabriel as well - I know he took a lot of time working out sizing and other details with many first time buyers. It is going to be a party when these orders start rolling in!

Thanks guys

+1 to Gabriel. im not sure if he gets any time off because every email to skoak receives same day response


EB stock photos were underwhelming. hopefully after these mto deliveries we will have better examples for future mto inspiration.

Agreed! Thank you leaves and Gabriel ! We couldn't have done it without your great ideas and around the clock work. At least you guys should have a little down time to chill out after all of that work. Then be ready to take tons of pictures when they all start coming in. That may actually require even more work. Haha.

Then I'm sure you will have even more orders combining for people to buy shoes from other MTO efforts.
