Yep! Exactly! I used my burgundy boots picture since it displayed the shape of the Rain last better.
(But I definitely understand about the cleaner cap-toe and speed hooks)

What do you mean by punched cap toe? you mean medallion on the toe box? I think Rain will work best without it to better display its chiseled toe, but it's up to you guys

I just meant the cleaner cap (the one you pictured has holes punched in the line, while this one doesn't if that makes sense). No medallion - basically the one I pictured in navy cordovan, rain last, brown dainite shoes, etc.

But.....seems I'm the only one interested at the moment.

Navy chukka and full rubber sole.. WoW.

 

[stevent]

Navy shell boot is a maybe for me. I would want all eyelets for sure and Oscar last if possible

Thinking something more like this: Navy Shell Cordovan Rain Last Brown Dainite Sole Red Lining Speed hooks Punch cap toe?

I was bored, so i worked up your Carmina MTO concept in Photoshop. Should help move things along for you

WOW!!! Jubei! You rock!

I definitely understand on the clean cap-toe!

Looks great!
I could be down for an oscar last as well. Any reason speed hooks are not preferred?

 

[stevent]



Gets caught in pants and doesn't look as clean IMO

Also speedhooks rip your laces so bad. Ive gone through 2 sets of laces on my ruby bal boots. Makes it easy to put on but you cant wear them if you ripped your laces....

Does anyone know where to buy laces for bal boots?

 

[Harvitz81]

Understand about the speed hooks - I can do without them.

So we basically have this:






Navy Shell Captoe Boot
No Speedhooks
Red Lining
Brown Rubber Dainite sole
Rain or Oscar Last (I can do either)

Any other details?
And sorry about the crappy photoshop edit job, but this is the limits of my skills

 

[steveyoo1983]

I think this might be a better representation of the navy shell (indoors at least

)

-Rain (pictured) or Oscar Last )TBD
-Clean Cap-Toe (no broguing)
- no speed hooks
-Red Lining
-Brown Rubber sole

If stevent is in we might have 5 already! (just got an email from another interested member)

 

[steveyoo1983]

All right everyone! We are looking for one last participants for the following two MTOs! Please send me a PM if you are interested!

1.Black Lizard Leather / Single Monkstrap (see pic below) / Rain Last



2. Navy Shell Cordovan / Cap toe Boots / Rain Last / Brown Rubber Sole / Red insole lining
Unlike the mock-up below, it will not feature speed hooks
Currently up for debate is whether we should keep the broguing on the toe cap (like the picture below) or do cleaner look stitches only




Also We are still looking for 3 more for the following two MTOs

1.Saddle Shell Cordovan / Quarter Brogue (Punched Cap-toes) / Rain Last / Brown Rubber sole (or half rubber half leather slim Tomir sole)

2. Dark Brown Suede / Tassel Loafer / Uetem Last

How much would the navy Shell cordovan cost?

 

[justinkapur]

I really like how you have the MTO's open on your webstore as well. Maximum exposure!

 

[justinkapur]



How much would the navy Shell cordovan cost?

$795. Great price for the shoe
