Just got my Sineu lasted MTO chukkas through. Major happy with them. I usually wear Rain lasted shoes, so it was a gamble. The fit is very similar. The Sineu is almost like a casual version of the Rain. Loving the loden suede too!
Those turned out great, love the loden. Congrats!

Just change your heel rubber pads when they are used. It costs pretty much nothing. This **** is going to tweak the way you walk and might even cause some injuries.
A heel change in NY is around $35 - $40 the last time I checked. Wouldn't really call it nothing. You are right that it changes the way you walk though.

how is the fitting of uetam vs inca? is inca narrower?
Nope, exactly the other way around. Uetam is narrower than Inca.

Oh wow! The last looks really good, I thinks this look like the Hiro from Meermin. I like their chukka but I think the Sineu looks better. If you could share some more pics, it will be greatly appreciated!
So good! Gorgeous boots!

Will do. Just on my way to Madrid. Will post when Im back next week. Going forward, I’ll probably go for Sineu over Rain. Really happy with the fit of the last.

No experience of Uetam. Same size in rain and Sineu. My gut feel is that the sineu has a slightly higher instep than rain. However, this could be down to the suede.

Two questions for people:

One: what are your thoughts for Soller as an NST last. Thinking of doing an NST boot on Soller but not sure how the toe would look on that last. Anyonedone it/have photos?

Similar question for a shell oxford on Inca. I know that Carmina already makes some so I can see their photos, but does anyone have thoughts on Inca vs rain for a plain Oxford?

Gentlemen’s Footwear has an NST on Soller. https://gentlemensfootwear.com/products/carmina-shoemaker-tanker-boots-in-loden-suede
They also have a couple shoe versions with the thicker split stitching.

NSTs are awesome on the Soller in my opinion. Here is a pair of mine in shell with a storm welt. I also have a flat welt suede pair but I can't seem to find a pic right this second.



Edit: Found a pic of my other pair with the flat welt.
