@makewayhomer, get them! They're even better in the flesh!
Mine were too big and had to be switched for tobacco but I still hanker for those whiskey ones. Just get them!!

@chosenhandle Excellent! Looking forward to seeing photos of them in the wild.

@makewayhomer Ozzy is an unimpeachable authority on his subject.

Those will be stunning shoes, which we want to see here in the thread. Ed will make sure you get exactly what you want. No pressure Ed. ;)

I really don't know if there's any easier way to get into a pair of beautifully made, classic shell wingtips made to your specs than this, and at a really good price with nice extras like shoe trees and metal taps all in the price.

The shoes are currently in stock in Oxblood cordovan but can be ordered in a variety of leathers/cordovan. The boots are only available through MTO right now, also in multiple leathers/cordovan. No up charge for made to order


Hi Ed! Will Buday make shows in extended widths? I wear 44.5 H in Vass U last.

I don't suppose they stock Navy shell, do they? ;)

Goodness gracious, those are gorgeous as well. I hope you picked up at least a pair.

I must say, the first spectators shown, the honey/white (perhaps cognac?) is an interestingly unique and stunning design in my opinion.

So so many beautiful shoes. :drool:

Personally I have to admire the DGAF attitude of many of these makeups. I don't know if they are selling these RTW or more showing that they'll just make you what you want pretty much whatever that is. And the classics are extremely tasteful.

Here are two plain Jane ones I like:

700

700


Let's play the what lasts are they game... I think the suede is on the Tizsa and the smooth leather one is on the Franko.

Navy shell yes and they do offer wider widths although is not the way typical shoe makers do. Rather than offering you a wide width in Last A, they offer you Last B, C or D which go up in width. But an H Vass would probably fit in the Frakno2 but shoot me a PM or email and we can discuss in detail.

Dear Forummembers,

does anyone has experience with Buday Argentinian horse leather (not Horween shell codovan)?

Thank you for your answers

With kind regards

Wodo

I bought one pair of Buday from Budapest in August. I am very happy with the purchase. The quality has been great and the Budapester last in a chukka was exactly what I was looking for. They are on the BP39 last.
