Antonio Meccariello Shoes

I think Yeossal has stopped/ will stop carrying AM shoes after the current stock is sold out. FYI they should be Argentum welted not hand-welted despite they come with wood box and lasted trees.

Just saw some interesting comparison videos on YouTube today. Author of the videos seemed to have purchased his AM from Yeossal as well (and also mistakenly thought they were hand-welted).

John has 70-100 pairs of shoes it’s absurd!

Think that’s the confusion, Yeossal had 2 lines of AM, one AW and one HW

Yes, I'll probably touch base with him in the beginning of next week. I figured his hesitation in quoting me 10 to 12 months would have been closer to 15 to 18 months. Additionally due to the difficulty of the shoes, I expect them to be completed when they are completed.
If it were my first pair, I would have been going nuts. Considering this is pair 8 or 9, I am like mehh.

For all in the know, there is also the Italian factor. Whatever they quote you in terms of completion time, you take that number and multiply that number by 1.5.

True. For my last mto order Antonio sent me a short video clip of Napoli (beautiful clip btw) with a message at the end that basically says perfection/beauty has no time. So I expect delivery to be sometime between now and my toddler's college graduation.

I was a waiter for about 5 days when I was 16. If I ever forgot to bring something to the table I would just say "still working on that." Worst job ever.

I say this with a heavy heart, yes I do. At this point, I should be approaching 110.

Ha! I know what you mean but I'm actually not completely against the lax European style of business (as long as it doesn't bleed into the restaurant world!)

Just picked up my shoes from Bedo's. I couldn't take it anymore...go away red!!

Before...

After...

Definitely pleased with the outcome.

While I was there I picked up my other shoes...

All of the photos were from Bedo's and the last one is mine (poor lighting)...I spend more time buying shoes than getting a good camera...Enjoy!

I'm following accounting methods, so in progress are counted as well ?.

I just donated a giant bag of shoes, and my shoe racks still look like the last scene from Indiana Jones...

ok, yea, that's so much more versatile now, before it's just waaay too much (I have GG Antique Cherry lazyman from Barneys, which is also a bit too much red if you ask me)
