ENZO BONAFÉ MTO and GMTO Central

They are definitely thinner than any of my other shell boots. Therefore they’re not as clunky as some of the other shell boots. It feels softer and more pliable. The downside is its tensile strength is worse so it’s more prone to tear at the seams. I already tear mine at the pull tab. FWIW, I...

Folks I'm considering a mahogany shell balmoral boot MTO, inspired by G&G Canterbury, and wanted to check if there's enough interest for a group order. I'm envisioning a versatile boot that can be dressed up or worn with flannel/five pocket (non-denim) trousers. I'm leaning towards the 804, a sleek round toe last, with flat welt and some sort of rubber sole (double vibram or single ridgeway)

Specs:

Leather: Mahogany Hatch Grain Shell Cordovan
Construction: Hand Welted 360deg flat welt
Sole: Single Leather with Ridgeway Brown or Double leather with Vibram
Edge Finish: Dk Brown
Lining: natural calf
5 Small Antique Eyelets and 4 matching Speedhooks
Last: 804, an elegant round toe last

Enzo Bonafe fans with low instep - what do you use for working around the typically high instep with your beloved EB boots?
I have 1 pair of deby boots in particular for which even tongue pad is not enough - the leather pieces are overlapping almost like a balmoral boots. Surprising I have EB boots in the same size and last and they fit much better for me in terms of instep.

I have never used an insole - have people found a better fit with those? Any particular recommendations?

Thanks!

in addition to trying an insole, try a heel pad
