First wear of my color 4 Balway from @SoleGarb. These were delivered in June, but sat unworn for 5 months thanks to covid. These were my first pair of Bonafe and I ordered them before I was aware of the option to request instep adjustment. The instep is higher than I'd like, and this is evident in the first couple of pictures (espescially right foot which is fractionally smaller). Surprisingly this doesn't impact how the boots fit when I wear and walk in them. Seems to be more of a cosmetic issue (based on my feet at least). Love these overall, and particularly shape of the 74945 last.

I don't own any Bonafe trees and was concerned my existing trees would prove inadequate. I have a couple of pairs of generic ones (from AFPOS) which have high instep, and luckily they work quite well in this pair. Plan on ordering a few pairs of EB trees in the near future.

Breaking in my new EB etrusco gmto loafer on 74945 last. The calfskin has very tight grain and fine greases.
