Direct Offer - Romano Martegani 'Cecina'

[RIDER]

Taking the advise of a few here, I will take some of our discontinued inventory and offer direct before going the ebay route. First up, the 'Cecina' in Iron Dark Tan. Is built on the 75 last and has a closer trimmed sole than our typical offerings. Is a variation of Blake construction where, instead of cutting a flap and glueing it shut, we soak the outsole with water and roll the channel shut (90%) with metal rollers. Our method really creates a very long wearing outsole with no water issues and this is neccessary to get a closer trimmed sole edge for this look. And, since I know I will get this question, this model is selling very well in Black, but I was not able to get a single retailer to buy it in this color....I guess they saw it as a very formal shoe and, well, Black is an easier sell. I happen to think this is a phenominal color for those that care about such things. Iron is a leather that we buy in the crust and hand apply analine....each pair can be slightly different. Any questions, please PM me. Suggested retail is $445.

Terms:-Offer for members here is $185 + $8.50 flat fee for shipping
-Payment via Paypal
-All sales final
-Please do not ask me to measure the outsole with a tape....this is a very poor idea for size, and honestly, the inventory is still in our warehouse and I am not there regularly at this time to get individual pairs out for measuring

-Offer valid thru June 20

Do they run true to size?

 

[RIDER]

Yes....75 runs pretty 'true', as true is a variable concept anyway. Of our lasts, 3B runs large for customers with size 10 and below feet (if we take A/E as a base fit, for example) and 75 would 34 = be same sizes as A/E. A couple of our lasts run small, but this is mainly our low vamp lasts (19 and 17). All the 4- lasts run the same.

3B = a little large
75 = normal
74 1/2 size small
19 = 1 size small
17 1/2 size small
46 = normal
41 = normal
42 = a little big....high instep
40 = normal
35 = normal
34 = normal
7Y = a little bit tight (lower than normal)over the instep
4A = normal

I posted a long post sometime ago about fits and the translations....I'll have to try to search for it, but this should help some.
