Do you know how to size these? I'm generally a size 8D US, 41 CP, 42 MMM Gats, 7UK. I wasn't sure if they are sized as normal dress shoes or same as GAT sizing Edited by tonio028 - 1/18/12 at 9:23pm
Got my Butteros today, toe and heel are a perfect fit but the vamp is really tight. I guess that's just how the shoe is cut. No room for an insole, I think Still, seems good, and they look great.
Agreed about the tightness in the vamp. They should eventually stretch enough to accommodate a 3/4 length insole. I still have a little tightness on the top of my right foot, since I have ridiculously high arches, but I'm pretty confident that will go away with more wear.
Are you planning to use anything to protect the leather? It feels more like nubuck than regular leather, so it doesn't seem like Obenauf's is the best choice.
the shaft of B1119 was a little too high for me but looks great on you Unc. I wish I was 3 inch taller (in legs) so I can look comfortable wearing ninja stuff
