Yeah, can't mock-up a boot without knowing how many eyelets to add

EDIT: Here is a random 7 eyelet for reference

D***N


This sure isn't making it any easier to say no.

Steve that boot looks ridiculously amazing.

Jubei I think you have just made it impossible to say no to that boot

Never seen such beautiful side profile detail on a full strap penny before! these in navy shell!

I think this one is good to go at this point!

#2 new penny loafer design in NAVY SHELL

So, not the exact shoe but it's giving an idea of what a full strap navy loafer will look like. Albeit a much sexier last....

Justin re-shared this on Tumblr and I wanted to post it here because it was too sexy not to.



Gives you a good idea what our navy shell fullstrap uetams will look like.

I'm part of 3 MTO's and this is the one I'm most excited for.

Navy cordovan split toe boot too?

Navy cordovan split toe boot too?

I would prefer navy cordovan to the light cognac as well

Really? I think cognac gives best color options to wear with any color trouser. I think the navy would look better as a captoe opposed to a split toe

I have dark brown shell, ruby shell, grey calf, pebble calf and terracotta grain. For me the mid/light brown would be what I am missing.

I have 2 blue shoes coming so I need to hold off on Navy until a bit later

X-post from the Carmina thread, in case people aren't reading it in addition. Apologies for the length.

Speaking of group MTO's through Gentlemen's Footwear, I've exchanged PM's with Young about the following idea and am checking on interest. You can respond in-thread or PM me about it.

Gentlemen's Footwear currently stocks this two-eyed wingtip derby in black calf. This model is on the Simpson last (sorry wide-foot dudes). I really like the model but am holding off on more black shoes for the moment. I think it would look great in burnished burgundy calf with single-leather sole and black edge trim. If possible, I'd also like to change the medallion to the example below.

Here's what Carmina's burgundy calf looks like.

Here's an example of burnished burgundy that Epaulet used when organizing an austerity brogue MTO (the shoe is EG; Carmina's will undoubtedly look different).

Here's an example of Carmina's burnished caramel calf.

Here's an example of Carmina's cuero calf, burnished by the folks at The Armory.

Example of alternative medallion.

how about a black simple captoe (no punch, no medallion, etc.) in Simpson last?

It might not have exactly the details you want (and I don't mean to take potential sales from Young!), but The Shoe Mart has a black Simpson-lasted captoe (decent range of sizes).

D***N This sure isn't making it any easier to say no.

I rather see this happen on a slimmer last, queen or robert last

 

[justinkapur]

Hanoi I think the only last with a split toe boot is Soller.
