Antonio Meccariello Shoes

[shirtingfantasy]

I would be interested in your long term wear (given how much I hate shell bloom), though given your rotational I guess it would eventually just be long years but low mileage...?

You are sadly right...

I do intend to wear these boots during weekends... so it means maximum 52 wears even if i religiously wear them over the coming year. Antonio warned me about wax bloom, and reminded me to massage them often.

Will update you guys once the real patina develops.

Actually, the most adventurous designs can be seen from AM’s Aurum and handwelted galleries - not his Instagram

The exotic bi-material shoes are all tastefully done. Although I tend to agree with previous views that they are not easy to wear.

Was it your choice, or was it Antonio's general preference to use red heel counters?

I've always got this suggestion from him.

Not my request

Not my request

My friend was having a pair of navy Simpiosio loafers made.

Perhaps not surprisingly, AM suggested a red heel counter...

And more centurion on chisel 2, hum...

I quite like how AM shoes age. Or as a matter of fact, I quite like AM shoes...

Interesting fact: I was at a local boutique (V Hazelton) a few days ago, and they said that one other major Italian brand (won't say who they are, but everyone in the thread should know the brand) stated that if they are carried by the boutique, then AM can't be sold. Pretty intriguing and didn't think this was an industry practice.

shoe brand or just italian brand in general, I assume there are no bad blood between him and kiton...
