X-post from the Boots thread.
I got a pair of Balways on the mail today.

Lorenzo worked with me on certain feathering adjustments I needed. These fit pretty good at first, but I will need to put some miles on them to get a definite fit assessment. Really happy with this makeup.

Wonderful boots. I signed up for the recent Col4 MTO. Now I'm realizing how slippery this slope really is.

On the Boots thread, you mentioned your low instep. I also have quite a low instep. Check out post #1408 on this thread where I describe the custom last that Lorenzo helped arrange for me based on 74945.

Are those from the Colour #6 GMTO? :p. Everyone else got the hatch grain shaft and I asked for smooth. If so, still no notification of shipping on mine.

Thanks, they are indeed nice. The slippery slope eventually turns into a free-fall abyss, at that point you either have to rent another house for your shoes, or sell your other pairs at the same acquisition rate.

About the low in-step actually, I think @flylikeneagle is the one who indicated he has a low one.
By contrast, my arches and insteps are very high, which EB boots a great fit in that area.

Yes. I remember you asking for all smooth. Reach out to Lorenzo and see what he says, I hope you get yours soon, and please post some picts once you get them.

When you get a chance, would love to see these in indirect sunlight. Color and overall makeup look amazing, congrats! I just received my first pair of Bonafe and am very impressed overall. Love the shape of the 74945 last.

Hey bud, here they are under natural light on an overcast day:

Really no point in putting photos up of mine, you’ve done a great job of showing what they are. I absolutely love the color on mine, EB is the creme de la creme for me.
An aside.... it occurs to me that since I’m very seldom dressing up these days, I get to look at all the new boots I’ve received the past few months in their pristine unworn state for a longer period of time.

Fantastic pics @oskrusa - thanks again. So pleased they turned out so well and the colour is sensational!
@stephenaf2003 - welcome to my world :fistbump:. I rarely get to wear my non-black boots and shoes due to work restrictions on dress code. Doesn’t stop me buying more though:p

PS. Guys, just wondering how many of you from the Colour #6 Balway GMTO have received the boots or a shipping notification? Cheers

Yeah I got mine, they are with the hatch shaft as well. Sorry about no pics, haven’t had the motivation to invest the time in that lately.
