what do you like most about that model?

If I'm not totally mistaken, that comment was a little tongue-in-cheek.

Great minds think alike !

Thanks!
Already on its way.

I have the same for myself (U doesn't fit me as well and I have similar shoes) and I can't take them off.

Is there a double sole on the Museum calf?

That's the Old English II on the F last if I'm not mistaken - I have exactly the same, and it's probably the best shoe choice I've ever made: the colour and brogueing are dark and subtle enough for serious business dress, but warm enough for an odd jacket and chinos on a lazy weekend. And the F last is just wonderful.

I imagine these in Plum Museum .. That would be a pure Appreciation .. Is this style available as a MTO?

This style, which in the civilised world is known simply as a balmoral, is based on Vass's "French Oxford" model. You can order it direct from them in any leather, size or fitting you like. Any last, too, though I'd recommend leaving it on the F.

The F last and the OEii is the best marriage between a shoe design and a last. Perfectly well suited for each other.

I think those are the oeii boots

 

[mimo]

I see, yes. That could be even better.

No, Vass' single sole is already quite thick. We thought a single sole is better suited for this kind of elegant shoe.

oeii?

Really sharp!!. Did you think about ordering the HAF outsole instead of the single one?. I think both ways should look outstanding for boots in this model.

Old English II.

I thought it was maybe Japanese.

Some awesome boot makeups. Left 2 remind me of saint crispin 401 and 402. Far right osloer. All on f last
