    Antonio Meccariello Shoes

    Heard back from Meccariello this morning. They said this should work itself out as I wear them. Or, if I want to speed up the process, they recommended using a shoe stretcher to lightly adjust fit in that area. Glad to hear this as I definitely did not want to try returning them. Cheers!

    It's not really at the front so much as the side as the shoe narrows toward the toe such that the 4th and pinky toe tip touch the leather. Sorry, not sure how to explain it better.

    This is exactly what I’m experiencing! Awesome, this is great new. Thanks for this!

    That picture is pretty accurate. They do look a bit lighter and more mid-brown (less red) in direct light. I get the feeling each pair is slightly different, some darker and more red, others lighter and more brown. I'm planning to darken the toe and work to bring out a touch more red with polish...

    It is a bit conflicting with the formal styling in an informal leather, but I love the look of captoe oxfords and the cross hatch leather. So too good to pass up. Think it will work very well with slacks and an odd jacket or blazer.

    While I wait to see how I move forward, I should at least post a picture of the shoes in question:

    Well that's unfortunate. Only have 7 days to ask for an exchange and 20 to ship. Guess we see what happens. If they recommend an exchange, I'll definitely try this. Thanks!

    Instep clearance is good, have no issues there. Laces close tight, minimal gap while still feeling snug on my instep. Heel is also good, maybe a touch roomy. Even across the ball of my foot they fit very well. If it wasn't for that touch at the tip of my last 2 toes they'd be the best fitting...

    I guess I'm really just trying to justify not doing an exchange since I don't know how difficult it will be with everything required to make it happen plus knowing it'll be another 6 months before I see the exchange pair.

    The tip of my pinky and 4th toe touch the front/side of the shoe, but it doesn't hurt and doesn't pinch. So not really a width problem, just a slightly too short problem. Another problem is I know I can't wear them too much if I want any chance of exchanging them, so I don't know if the...

    Need some post-purchase advise: I have a pair of Meccariello's Legate black captoes on the Round last in 9.5E. They fit me well. In late January I ordered a pair of Armiticos 2 on the chisel 2 last, also in 9.5E. They arrived Friday. I tried them on around the house today and found that my 4th...

    Has there been any word on ship date for the 2nd TLB Mallorca GMTO? Not concerned, just curious of the status. Thanks!

    Hey, I just went through this 2 weeks ago. In the US, easiest option is to order online from AM directly. The order process is easy (hardest part was getting my credit card company to approve the transaction), though if you're interested in finding what they have in-stock takes a bit more time...

    Ringing in the new decade with a new pair of black captoe Legates on the classic round last in Freudenberg black calf. My first pair of high end shoes. Definitely won’t be the last though!
