Just thought I'd mention it since I sorta got burned on the second pair of 80180s that I bought.
Expected Simpson, got Rain.

Good looking shoe.

I think they made a good choice when they put it on the Rain Last.

If anyone has a pair of the Forest brogues from Matches in 10.5UK they don't want let me know.

We are thinking of doing an mto of this boot in grey suede with a york sole. Model #861 on the Oscar last. Please let me know if that is something you gentlemen would be interested in. Thank you.

Quote: It looks like the simpson last doesn't it? The square toe appears stronger than on the burgundy model.

Nah, looks wider and with a lower instep. It's been labeled correctly.

That standard wingtip is made on several lasts and leathers anyways, I have it on the Forest last, in tan calfskin.

The colour is beautiful in this photo. What is its name?

I wish you well with your MTO.

Speaking of MTOs, now's as good a time as any to bump the one I'm running.

Here's the boot in question: model 80184 on the Oscar last, in Cognac shell cordovan, with a Dainite rubber sole:



Note that this model differs from Unipair's proposed MTO in that ours has three quick-lacing hooks, which you can leave undone when attending Pitti Uomo.

I have to say that I'm very taken though, with the colour of the boot in Unipair's last post. I think the 80184 would totally rock in this colour too:



Well, gentlemen, it is ultimately you who get to decide on the colour. We currently require just ONE MORE sign-up in order to get this MTO up and running with Skoaktiebolaget.

As the Chinese say: Add Oil! Add Oil! Add Oil!

Gorgeous shoes. I've never ordered directly from Carmina - does anyone know if shoes listed on their site are available for immediate delivery, or is it an order and wait type of deal?

I have ordered a couple of pairs directly. As long as the size you want is available the delivery is immediate. For example, both my orders were made over a week-end and arrived at my house on the following Thursday (ie, 4 business days). They have not sent me a tracking number on either order. Signature is required. Hope that helps.

If your size isn't available I think you are just **** out of luck.

Btw, they are gorgeous shoes...very, very, tempted...

The color of the Unipair boot is Cognac (the "dark" version)...it has been discussed at length but the color of the previous MTO really came out as Saddle
