Antonio Meccariello Shoes

Fortunately, I still had the email of the pictures.

It was these Green ones, pictures courtesy of Skoaktiebolaget. I'm sure they won't mind since they are my shoes after all.

On my phone it looks like dark green with black burnished toe

Exactly what it was supposed to be. So imagine my disappointment when I opened the box and thought they were brown ?.

I have never seen an adelaide lazyman, where are you going to "hide" the side elastic

Here you go actually find a Adelaide lazyman

I will say I’m a bit not sure, the elastic doesn’t “hide” as well, even if the facing wasn’t contrasting

He had what many would call a dream job as lastmaker at John Lobb in London, but wanted more and left the giant to make bespoke shoes under his own name -

True. It does seem weird. I guess that's why you'd hardly find any of it. Unless the side elastics is joined to the facing which would be just as funny.

hum, how about Imperator, I'm definitely partial to Adelaide (I already got 2 version of Hastus)

YES! YES! and of course...YES!!

what's the name of this patina? Still want that Ortho lol

maybe he doesn't have a name yet, when I asked him, he said "Grey, antiqued brown"

I like the Conicen model because it's a wholecut but still has that square broguing on the facing like the Imperator

not sure about Conicem, might as well just do a whole cut with medallion (Librotor?) if you're going that route

hum, definitely a pass for me on Conicen, my issue is exactly with the broguing (to me it's not adelaide or wholecut)

 

[clee1982]

Though both ortho and conicen got that side profile and a tweaked adelaide, guess I see where you're coming from...

 

[WhyUEarly]

Yea I'm a sucker for tweaked adelaides. If it's a regular adelaide, it's a bit redundant in my collection as I already own 3 adelaides, not counting the tweaked ones like the Hastatus

 

[clee1982]

Is Imperator enough tweak for you?

 

[WhyUEarly]

First wear of the Peaked Hastatus in the office. Sorry for the ugly socks, was in a rush out the door

I wouldn't be a definite yes on a GMTO because I've seen that model elsewhere. I think SkoAb had a similar design from Paolo Scafora.

 

[clee1982]

I remember TLB has one as well, before I dislike it but now I'm kind warm to this square edge thing

Haha a little bit more and maybe you'll grow to like the broguing for the faux facing and profile
