Almost forgot...

Very nice combo, Stitch. Is that the DG70? If so, is it noticeably tighter near the toes?

I'll let you know in a couple of days if i don't hear back (sent message today). On a similar note, his thread has been dead silent too...

Just heard from him. Probably laying low for the holidays.

thanks, jh. indeed it is the 70, and i do not find it to be any tighter in the toes than the other lasts.

...and if I can glom on to my own non sequitur, would using non-lasted trees warp or otherwise mishape G&G shoes over time?  I'm thinking about a used pair, and I want to limit might outlays if I can.

My LSG&S (Life Since G&G) is nothing but outlays. I'm currently wearing one, waiting for two, and now deciding on a fourth thanks to Stitchy's incredible pictures!

Gun season is over here in MI... bow season is in full swing!

On a side note, has anyone had any contact with Nick A. Recently? I have sent him messages the past few weeks but have not heard back. I assume maybe the holidays, Pitti, etc.?

I'm in the same boat, resisting the urge to flood him with more emails. If only more emails meant less days of waiting for final delivery!

Indeed — they're all elongated enough that their shouldn't be much difference to actual toes between the differing shapes of the end of the toe boxes.

OH BABY!! what are you wearing, waiting for and deciding on?

all the laced lasts fit me the same, super comfy. the KN14 was snug and took close to a dozen wears to get comfy. now its purrfection.

OH BABY!! what are you wearing....get comfy....now its purrfection.

If you added a direct overhead of all four (with minimal perspective tilt), and no underneath shoe bags for contrast clarity, that would complete my inquiries. Thanks for your help

@JubeiSpiegel, does this complete your inquiries?

 

[Gianni Cerutti]

Awesome collection! Thanks for the additional pics

indeed it is far from complete. and yes, the gables are on the 73 in size 11.5. PM me if you are interested.

Now why did you have to go and say that... my size and one of my grail shoes! :/ No, can't afford right now. Damnit.
