Very interesting wing tip design though it occupies a bit too much toe and vamp space in my opinion.

The patina is good but the watermark on the quarters does appear like typical water stain. Sole painting/tattoo looks very good as well but this looks more like display shoes

I think this is meant to be a pairing of the world map. I agree they are much more for display than actual wear.

It took me a bit to work it out, but the G&G site has captions for dunces like us who don’t get it:

Singapore

Europe


I still prefer google-map!

Interesting. That's the home countries of Daniel Wegan and Kevin Seah. Except a lot more waters added or flooding Thailand and Cambodia.

Only the lower part of Sweden is visible though.

Hopefully it's just a bespoke display for show, and they will take it along on their trunk show...

It's probably gonna stay at Kevin Seah bespoke.

Great looking boot.

Great looking boot.

I want it but am a bit concerned it's too narrow. I think MH71 is more narrow and lower instep than carmina rain,right? I am

If you can get it sized correctly I think this one would work for you. That's my biggest concern with G&G, their sizing seems to be a bit more difficult than EG. This boot seems to have a bit more character than the Nevis with the extra stitching on the boot.

I've found the MH71 to fit similar to the Rain last, with similar width and instep space. Here are my shoe sizes:
Alden Barrie: 8.5D
AE 108 & 65: 9D
Carmina Rain/Forest/Inca: UK8
G&G MH71 and TG71: 8.5E

Of these, the MH71 and Rain feel the most similar to me on foot.

Speaking of MH71, I love it. I was concerned with the narrow talk, but the UK E is perfect (same as my EG sizing / up a half from Rain). Awesome leather quality.
