What is a toe spring?I love the fit of the llubi last (and good looking pair) but the toe spring is just too much for me.
Would like to know the same thing.What is a toe spring?
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.What is a toe spring?
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 inHow 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.

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.Doesn’t look significant to me; the toe box looks roomier.
I think was at the time Horween were way behind. Not sure if that’s eased now.Funny enough I received tracking info for my order in January today and also my order from the last MTO event. Carmina told me the first order was delayed because they had a hard time getting the amaretto shell.
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 recommendationI want to put out one more feeler on the XIM last sizing in their bit loafers. I have two responses so far with one poster saying the last is a tight fit, another poster saying it was too large. I greatly appreciate the feedback but would like a little more before I make a test purchase. I don't want to have to go through purchase and return. Thanks for any more feedback.
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.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.
