Sorry, no pics

but received my GMTO the dark brown suede oxford. Stunning in person, love the suede. The dark brown color is also superb...stock photos lighting make it out to have some gray tone (at least on my screen).

The fit out of the box is perfect, more so than the half brogue dark brown calf oxford shoes I picked up. I guess the suede is more forgiving (FWIW the calf have broken in nicely).

They're really two different kind of shoes, and I love them both. And as always Steve is great to deal with.

Can't wait to see what else is coming!

Grats on the shoes, they look awesome. Kind of sad I passed on this. I didn't think carmina would mess up with the tobacco suede and ended up passing on the other adelaide. Oh well. Post pictures if you can :D.

Mine will arrive soon also. And while we're at it, these will be my first pair of suede shoes that I'll end up keeping and using. So my question is; what kind of products do I need? I use Saphire products for my calf shoes and don't mind using Saphire products for suede also, but which one(s)? Thanks.

These look awesome! Mine will be here this week!! I also got the exact same shoe in the tobacco suede a few weeks ago. I'll post pics of both when the chocolate are here

You'll need a suede brush and Nano protector primarily. Eventually, you may need suede shampoo and eraser. See Hanger Project:

Navy Suede string tie loafer (Uetam) will arrive next week on Wednesday as well!

5.5 UK - 9.5UK avail (however size 7 & 7.5 & 8.5 has been reserved and sold out)
Let me know if you would like to reserve a pair in your size!
Steve,

Put a deposit on these and haven't heard from you. Admittedly I have some catching up to do in this thread, so I'm not sure if they arrived yet.
