I'm interested in ordering a casual split toe derby from an indonesian shoe maker but I don't know who has a good looking model. Suggestions?

Some photos of my Midas Bootmaker x Skolyx service boots, both from when new and after a few months of pretty hard winter wear:

I have seen a nice one from Txture, although I have no experience with them.

Tied for first : Onderhoud and Midas. Both have pros and cons .. but I would rate them equal

then sagara

then Renav
Emil makes a really fantastic product. I personally feel the value of his product is unbeatable. Don't own any Onderhoud

It’s been two weeks since my boots were finished. (He sent me a short video showing the finished boots.). They were supposed to be sent after doing a photo shoot, but I haven’t heard anything since.

Isn’t that more than enough time?

I don’t want to be a nuisance. Do you think it’s OK to ask where they’re at?

It turns out that they were recently shipped out and he forgot to send me the tracking number. They’re on the way!
