ENZO BONAFÉ MTO and GMTO Central

[Thilgela]

I'd be interested in the following specs

- Balway
- Color 6 hatchgrain upper + shaft
- 74945 last
- 270 degree flat welt + bombay waist
- double leather sole + vibram topy
- blind eyelets (or small dark metal eyelets like EG Galway) + speedhooks 4+4
- dark brown edge dressing + welt top

Assuming we can still choose our own leather (Armagnac, Color 6, Bronze), I would do this with blind eyelets and donkey sole painted black to match the topy.

My plans are tentatively to do a NST derby sometime April. Just feeling out interests

For my Balway makeups, I am going for Horween Veg Tan Horse lining so it’s an all Horween Horse Boot ..

If others want it, please communicate with Lorenzo when placing the order.

For my Balway makeups, I am going for Horween Veg Tan Horse lining so it’s an all Horween Horse Boot plus a thicker lining may mean lesser rolls on the upper than EB Shell makeups previously ..

If others want it, please communicate with Lorenzo when placing the order.

Sounds awesome. Will try this.

I've been exchanging emails with Lorenzo and it seems like all the bronze hatch grain shell might be claimed at this point.

The very first EB GMTO I participated in.

I’m currently in Bologna and went to the EB workshop yesterday and got a full tour from Massimo Bonafe, who also introduced me to the whole family and workshop team. They are very gracious and kind. Enzo himself helped me work through my sizing issue due to have a low volume foot with a low instep. It turns out that I really need a 1/2 size smaller than I have been buying, and Enzo and Massimo recommended a full length “fluffed” insole. I also got to see the batch of shells in Color 4 from Lorenzo’s group, which I will be joining. Massimo said Lorenzo has the best access to Horween’s shell supply as anybody. I will post some pics soon. It was a great experience. I had seen Simon Crompton’s video of the workshop, but it’s quite another thing to see it in person with a personal tour from Massimo Bonafe.

That's awesome! How about the unglazed natural shell ?

Very cool.

That is the bag of shells that have currently been cut for Lorenzo’s Balway GMTO.
