I second this.  Or we can just get three for an MTO and customize it a little.  Perhaps red lining on the inside???  I know there was someone else asking about this as well.

edit:  @tifosi
 was interested perhaps?


Does it come in wide fitting? I may need a 7G; decided the 7.5F 946 is not ideal, and I've heard to size the same for the 804.

I suppose you'll need to e-mail the shop @Skoaktiebolaget for specific fitting advice and also whether all of the shoes in the GMTO need to be the same width for Bonafe.

For whatever it's worth, the skoak website says fits similar to Carmina rain, but it also says that for the 946.

I am interested as well, and am not in a hurry either. I probably wouldn't be able to get on board right now but June/July would look much better.

Btw, some of the scariest words your wife can say: "You aren't expecting any more shoes, right? You have to admit, objectively, that you have enough shoes now."

The trick is to never admit nor deny.


I've seriously given thought to purchasing another house just so my shoe purchases can be diverted to another address. LOL

This is my work-a-round: Ship them to the office. Then wear the shoes she knows about to the office and change into the "secret shoes" when you get there. Slowly break them in until they aren't new anymore, then wear them home. Clearly, I've thought about this before....

You've clearly given this much thought.

Currently, in my office I have EG Westminster and my new Vass MTO...

My wife never misses a beat, can't trick her, so it is more about "spreading" the purchases

awesome golfinz, we think alike. When that doesn't work I get her to buy new shoes and then I get a pr too.

Proposed specs as follows GMTO:

We need x6 in the same width to proceed, interested so far:

I believe price will be 9600 SEK exl. VAT ($1112 approx.) not including trees.

Maybe. Still not sure about the GG06 on an Arran. But either way, I'm not going to be much help getting the numbers this needs, as an F width guy...
