Are the trees branded as Enzo Bonafe? The picture seems to suggest it is an in house brand.

I think Enzo Bonafé only does lasted shoe trees on the last 946 - at least that's the only style Skoaktiebolaget stocks, and it is weird if there were more styles. I asked when I did an MTO and IDK if it was Skoaktiebolaget or Massimo that said they don't do lasted trees in other lasts - I bought a 173 and 375 pair though. I imagine 74945 is more common.

The 363mod is also available as a lasted shoe tree from Enzo Bonafe, just not via skoab.

Hello,

A hand welted loafer on the 74945 last, model 645 - so we need one more. Please see the attached image for reference. The makeup will be in etrusco calf leather. Leather sole with topy, with edge trim to match the style in the below photo.

Hello,

We have 3 participants in a GMTO for a hand welted loafer on the 74945 last, model 645 - so we need one more. Please see the attached image for reference. The makeup will be in etrusco calf leather. Leather sole with topy, with edge trim to match the style in the below photo. If interested, let me know and I will add you to the chat.

Think this one is an Etrusco focused GMTO. Assuming it turns out great then I have a lot of future interest in other leathers.

I recently ordered (on something of an impulse) some Chelseas in the 773 last on sale at Mehra and it occurred to me that I'm not sure which trees would fit them best, as they don't have lasted ones.

What do you guys use?

It looks like there are lasted models for 946, 363 Mod, 062, 804, and 74945 (which I'm guessing is closest). The first two are on Mehra, the last three on Seamless. But I'm half-thinking, if I can't get lasted trees, something generic would probably work just as fine.

Side note: I ordered my regular UK size and subsequently found that it's a narrow fit. Should I be concerned? I've seen some people mention that half a size up works better for them in 773, but no real indications that the regular size was unwearable.

Can any owners of EG 82 last and EB 804 last show pictures side by side? I get the feeling they are quite similar.

Don't have a photo on hand, but I concur that they have a similar almond toe shape. I will note that I go a full size down from EG 82 to EB 804.

I have several pairs on each last so I feel qualified to respond. They are similar but there are some differences. For example, I think the 804 is not as asymmetric as 82 last. Obviously the instep is higher on the 804. It's a nice last though. I take a half size down from my 82 last size.

Sorry to interrupt, I am letting go a pair of Monk boots in UK8, 74945 last, please check below for more details.


How do you find the instep on these?

I've heard a lot of people mentioning that the monk boots and stuff is really weird with ridiculously low insteps compared to the rest of their stuff. My monk chukkas have that issue - I' not even close to closing the last hole on the strap, but I had to take my boots, on the same last, to the cobbler to add a tongue pad, alongside considering an half-insole for the heel, to fit that instep...
