I love the fit of the llubi last (and good looking pair) but the toe spring is just too much for me.
What is a toe spring?
Would like to know the same thing.
How much the tip of the shoe come up off the floor when the shoes are sitting flat on the floor, rather than touching the floor like you see in display or bespoke shoes.
It's more common on workwear/heritage lasts, as the rolling from the ball to the toe is supposed to be more comfortable to walk in
Doesn’t look significant to me; the toe box looks roomier.
I've come to appreciate that those last pictures are not always 100% accurate, but also note that the last is not positioned as it would be on a finished shoe; there's no heel attached. This has the effect of making the toe spring difference look minimal in the illustrated orientation.
I think was at the time Horween were way behind. Not sure if that’s eased now.
One person said true to size; the other said he bought same exact size as AE and shoe was a half to a full size too big, which makes me think he didn't account for European sizing. You can always ask Carmina their recommendation
Carmina said SOME people order a half size big. What I'm gonna do is order my normal size with a in stock horsebit loafer as a test run. I guess I just have to be patient with this. Once I nail that down, then I can order a custom one, which is my ultimate goal.
Looks like it may have. My other pair of boots got made really quick!
