I always assume it's usd at first. Then, I always become sad when I remember it's eur.

I still pretend it’s USD and use that number with my bride. I just have to make sure I don’t check my statement afterwards.

That currency difference probably affects our Canadian counterparts more. My reasoning to lift my spirits is, "at least it's not Canadian dollars I'm working with".

$275 extra for me so hopefully you lads change your mind on a MTO

Is that the difference? Yikes. That's actually like the price for a pair of shoes.

I always feel better about it when I remember back when I studied in Italy and went on a shopping spree near Piazza di Spagna after a particularly boozy lunch and forgot about the exchange rate when it was somewhere around 1.6/1

By the Spanish steps! Definitely boozy. That's a tourist trap over by there.

Yes euros are +50%

Is the GMTO freze covid related ?
And is the wait really 1 year for AM ?

I think it was my 2nd day into the semester or something when I knew all of like three places in Rome. Things escalated quickly.

It was a slight exaggeration. I think it’s quoted 20-24 weeks for MTO plus winter and summer vacations if you hit one of those. So 6-8 months give or take?

Oh my days.. +50%. ??‍♂️

As @Jmr928 mentioned, you'd be looking at 6-8 months. I'm going to say the freeze is indeed Covid related. The employees, or lack there of, has delayed the operation a bit.

I'll go on the limb and state that I believe you and many others on here can absolutely wait until normal activities resume. I feel confident in saying that because we don't have too many newbie shoe owners on here.

For those who have an order in progress, the wait must be agonizing. Probably feel like the sands of time. ⏳

On this idea of waiting and for those who are wondering how long Aurum/Bespoke orders take (also if you think you've waited enough), I waited 20 months for my order to be completed.

Yes you read that properly. Almost 2 years.

Worth the wait though, yes?

I certainly hope you had a pair or two to wear while you waited at least.

Crazy. Hope the fit was great...

I guess they were worth the wait. Other than confirming fit, I have not worn them.

Fortunately I had one pair to hold me down during the waiting period. ?

They are based on my Bespoke last, so yes the fit was as usual. ??
