Maybe just too many shoes and unboxed months after the sale? ?

@Noblekostas here are the photos you asked:








Awesome thanks :) though this is what I am leaning towards now:

It’s computer generated, you can’t tell the welt difference unless I point it out, maybe another color :)

thanks everyone for the great discussion! Goodnight ?

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.

I have always wanted to try Paolo Scafora, though sizing has been a hurdle and the China retailer (Medallion) is not actually represented in my city.

They do stock an amazing range of PS, something that you may draw inspiration from provided your can navigate their webshop or Taobao shop - admitted mostly “conservative” designs:

Some new business photos for your business meeting. Never mind the high chelsea, you can always make a low chelsea or lazyman which doesn’t catch on the back of your trousers when you sit down:

and did I mention that’s actually Horween cordovan? ?
Any idea if Antonio is adding Chelsea's to his RTW?

Discussed, high cost, low anticipated demand, likely not.

Would have to go single MTO unless one manages to find a group of 6+ friends, so to speak. Personally I don't find GMTO usually worth the trouble or organizing it - joining an already-organized one is okay, however.

Thought you need 12 to fully cut out MTO fee? 6 get you 50 off on mto fee?

One of the reasons I don’t find GMTOs particularly attractive. ??

There is much joy in helping others get a pair of nice shoes, but it can be offset by the “uniform” feel.

Here's a pair in melograno. The color is really lovely with its orange hues.

"Grey, antiqued brown", like this


View attachment 1420448

last: chisel 2?
model: Imperator
View attachment 1420449

how many can I get, maybe 3 tops now, still quite far away from 12

Construction: AW/HW? If I got enough traction will then probably start talk to AM to see what's the real pricing...

@clee1982 -> myself, yes
@GeoffreyB -> yes I think?
@WhyUEarly -> in the maybe territory


@BColl_Has_Too_Many_Shoes -> and just for you, we will paint this dark green so it looks uniform brown...


another interest check on this, also posted here... edit: fix link...
