No, its a non-issue for me. I just enjoy bringing it up a lot.

There is nothing in the world quite like being a squeaky heel.

MTO? Did you order them with adjustments similar to MedTech?

Nope. These were a Leffot makeup.

Those are a beaut Namor. The chestnut goes well with it too. What color suit are you planning to pair that with?

Thanks man. Looking to wear them with a light gray suit or navy pinstripe

Namor - fantastic - glad to see you're moving up! ;-)

ha, no worries, my heart will always belong to a shell Cordovan boot.

Absolutely stunning.
Since joining SF I have been continuously vacillating between Vass and G&G as to whose lasts seem the most sophisticated, timeless and yet striking. Currently leaning to G&G. The shapes are a bit extreme - but also very elegant.
Congrats! I predict you'll love them for a long time.

Thanks, I couldnt be happier. I wore them once already and for a shoe thats so sexy, they are just as comfortable. G&G sold me on their first pair.

Just wearing these today in Vintage Pine with a mid-grey POW suit.
Have to agree that they are extremely comfortable.

Great combination. I intend on pairing my shoes with a similarly colored shoe.

Do they squeak like mine?

nay. what do you mean by squeak?

Is antique chestnut the same as vintage chestnut? If so, these look very much like something of mine which should be arriving shortly...

my bad. My pair is in vintage chestnut. must have had one too many drinks that night

medaillon is off centre btw. a common fault in the shoe world nowadays.

damnit, you are right. I kind of like it though. Remind me of a girl I once dated who had a birth mark on her ass. Omg, what.an.ass. Ever since then, I have been partial to the birth mark.

Luk - let me be the first one in this thread to say those are stunning. What differences do you find between your first and second round?

Don't like the DG70, personally.

 

[VRaivio]

Don't like opinions without explanations, personally

 

[hendrix]

is the DG70 the round-toe last? it's their best IMO

GG06 is the round toe. DG70 is fantastic as well. Ive had both, but prefer the slightly pointier DG70.

i'd say the round 2 shoes are touch touch wider and when i got the the heel was a little high so once i got thr resoled a few months back i had them reduce the heel which seem to help reduced some of the creasing - i might need to send them back at some point to get the to shrink the excess across the vamp
