Genesee MTO - Chocolate Calf - TMG Last - Double leather sole - Medallion from Laurelhurst

Chocolate is much darker than image suggests, definitely at the bitter end of the chocolate spectrum.

Should Genesee be straight strapped or cross strapped - both seem to work?

Received the Dark brown Wallingford yesterday. Ordered Monday and surprisingly shipped in 3 days with toe taps installed. Those things are awesome; well worth the 16GBP.
Just finished a quick, new shoe shine.

Update: wore them first time today.
They definitely feel a closer fit towards the heel than my Whittier and lighter too. Probably because the museum leather is thinner than the Antilope Auburn calf.

Picture for Genesee above which disappeared View attachment 821837

here they definitely look more like chocolate than the hero shots which my photographer took which made them look really dark. Hope that you are liking the color. Looking good!

I agree it shows how you really cannot be sure of any colour in a picture you see on screen. You photos will be closer to the truth as my one makes them look considerably lighter than they really are.

Yeah, Justin owes you a commission. I ordered a pair after seeing your photos.

How narrow is the SEA last? I wear Carmina Rain last comfortably, as well as E Width in Edward Green.

You should be fine in the UK10 in the Sea, it is not that narrow with respects to what you name, but narrow compared to our LPB or MGF lasts

I'm very happy with the shoe laces. I was a bit worried about the boot laces being too narrow for my vintage boots but they work great I think. Can't wait to be making matchy matchy outfits with my polos and shoe laces.

I haven't bought any shoe yet but I think I will wait until I take a short trip to London to be able to see them in person and try the shoes making an appointment.
