Wondering if anyone can help identify which last these wingtips are on? Thanks!

Just received my MTO order from the fee-free weekend promotion several weeks back. Really, really pleased with these Snuff suede Oxfords. Rain lasted, tomir sole with lulus (why not!). Finishing on these is just top notch. Best pair of Carminas in my collection to date (and not my last).

care kit was included @Carmina the suede brush is really great, and the protectant spray is much appreciated.

Gorgeous shoes man!

I bet they are Rain last.

I guess it's the model 922 on Rain last.

Another vote for rain.

Sure looks like rain but you should probably request a photo of the numbers inside the shoe to be sure.

Well I've finally submitted my color 4 "u tip" boot order. My inspirations were C&J Galway 2 and @mdubs's wonderful indy stitch boots on the grant last. Think it will end up closer to Mike's Indys but with a storm welt.

Nice, what last did you go with?

I'm still debating my order. I thought I had it figured out but reconsidering the level of formality since I want to be able to wear the #4 pair often and I'm not sure how successfully I can pair rain with khakis or denim.

Maybe consider Forest? I like it as an in-betweener casual/formal last.

Just received my order from the MTO weekend. Semi-brogues on Forest EEE in black shell with Dainite soles. Very happy.

This is my first pair on the Forest last and for me it is a slightly better fit than Rain.

I went with Oscar last, chestnut edging,and double JR with metal (lulu) tips. I considered ridgeway sole with flat welt, but like you I would also like this pair to be versatile so went with double JR.

I am assuming you went with Model 80488, correct?
Whats the surcharge to remove the split?

Ummm, whenever I get my opportunity, I will go with Detroit or Soller.

Since you already have the NSTs on Soller, Detroit, with its squarish toes, might be a good bet.
