    Depending on options, I could be interested in either an Arran, an Antibes or a Canterbury GMTO.

    JM Weston appreciation thread

    I have had similar experiences with JM Weston 180s: They are rather tough to break in (almost all JM Weston shoes are to me for that matter). I have a high instep and I have an issue which seems to be similar to that you describe. But once broken in, they are some of my most comfortable...

    Antonio Meccariello GMTO Ideas

    @clee1982, thank you much for this summary! - Last: I am pretty open regarding the last (although I would prefer something else than chisel 2 or mayfair - I have quite a few pairs on these two lasts already). - Color: I am in for the burgundy/oxblood.

    @ThunderMarch, thank for you much for putting this together. Works for me...

    @ThunderMarch, that sounds like a good compromise. A darken tostato would work for me.

    Antonio Meccariello GMTO Ideas

    Below are my preferences on the three items on which there seems to be no consensus yet. Contrast: I’d definitely prefer with the pin grain contrast if the shoes came in a lighter shade of brown. But, not having it would not be a deal breaker if the shoes came in a very dark shade of brown...

    My preference goes to M12 (M3 or M9 would likely also work for me).

    @ThunderMarch, Thank you for your prompt reply. I thought that with my ever growing rotation my passion would start to wind down, but, it is not the case. And just like you, I am still very much into shoes. Your remark about your discovering new makers makes me curious, and I would be very...

    Antonio Meccariello GMTO Ideas

    @ThunderMarch, it is nice to hear from you, and, I hope you have been well too. I am interested in this GMTO. I wonder if there would be any interest for mondo nero red (see right below). Otherwise, I would prefer a very dark brown. I would also prefer no captoe. The chisel 2 works for...

    Skoaktiebolaget – Enzo Bonafé, Saint Crispin’s, Löf & Tung

    To me, there is no substantial difference between the way HW and GYW shoes feel or wear out (in some cases, HW has felt a bit stiffer than GYW and took longer to break in. But, it was nothing that significant). I watched a maker (no one well known) make a pair of HW shoes once, and, I admired...

    I am interested, and, the final decision will depend on the make up. What is the make up?

    Bodileys (Seller of Fine English Shoes) - Appreciation Thread

    I can only agree with the previous positive comments on Sarah. She does this so naturally that one may easily forget that she goes out her way to please customers! I would also highly recommend Bodiley's of Northampton. (Bought a pair of Alex From Bodiley's. Very similar to G&G's old Tavistok)
