Enzo Bonafe Handmade Shoes.

[User888]

A pair of EB boots that I now regret not getting. Perhaps I wasn't too convinced about the lighter suede on top.... A different Balmoral boot as well which I now very much like so maybe I need to analyze what kind of leather combos I would go for in a future pair.
Not sure what the grain brown leather was...

I am curious as to what lasted "open laces" mean and if they apply to derby style only? I need to use tongue pads and/or insoles for my EB boots (derby and balmoral) and I recently discovered that potentially having lasted "open laces" might help.

I saw a few photos of "open laces" and couldn't make out the difference at least based on online photos.

Thanks!

It applies to any laced boot and it essentially allows the boot to be made with a reduced instep height. Many of us find Bonafe lasts to have high insteps and this helps us take our normal size whilst having a better fitting boot from a volume perspective.

Has anyone got their shoes resoled with bonafe? If so, could you tell me the turnaround time and cost please.

Hi everyone,
Was hoping to get some insight on a recent order I made.
I ordered some EB wholecuts and received them last weekend... I noticed they have some creasing right out of the box, I had these made to order and did not even try them on. The seller tells me that this is normal, I just wanted to get a second opinion as well. Thank you.

This is indeed disturbing. My first pair of Vass where wholecut F last, and they arrived with some deep creasing on the same area of one shoe. I returned it for a remade pair, which arrived in perfect condition. I personally expect my shoes to arrive in pristine condition, unless I'm buying them at an appropriate discount.

afaik, only 804 and 906 come wide

Does anyone know if there’s a wide 363MOD last?

I have the regular width 363MOD and I can’t wear thick socks w them.

you can ask for feathering at width on 363mod. 363Mod is already the wide version anyway, i don't find it very wide myself either.

Nice, i wonder how old bronze would pair with loden suede.

 

[stephenaf2003]

I really like my Bronze shell boots, the shell is really beautiful. Another Enzo color I am very fond of is their mahogany, it’s just a really great color.

The original style 3824. Usually seen in modified versions.

A lovely solid but smart looking boot.

Shame I've got an MTO in progress already elsewhere.
