I'm brewing another GMTO!
Is anyone else interested in the following:

Style: Vass Old English semi brogue cap toe!
Upper: Snuff suede
Last: Thinking Olfe or perhaps the new chiseled last!
Sole: Single or dubble leather
Lining: browinsh to match rest of shoe
Eyelets: 5
And as always initials on the sole and text window are available aswell!
If we get 6 orders or more for the same model there will be no MTO-fee!

Who's in? PM me!

That is the lighting. I have three pairs of cordovan shoes and direct sunlight brings out undertones in all of them. For dark brown cordovan, it brings out a #8 like undertone for a mahogony color. They are simple dark brown indoors.

If I didn't just order their Classic suede shoe then I would be all over this as this was the model I wanted instead of the Hiro last.

Maybe I can sell mine when they come in and get on this one :)

I like those a lot :). That Olfe last is lovely and I really can't wait to see the new chiseled last

I am looking at getting the tan longwing bluchers. I was wondering if the Rui last typically runs true to size, slightly big, or small. I go back and forth between US 9.5 to US 10 in most of my shoes. On the Allen Edmonds sizing guide I am somewhere between 9.5E US and 10D US. So I keep going back and forth between getting the 9UK or 8.5UK on the Meermin longwing bluchers. Any help on how the Rui last runs would be greatly appreciated or any advice between the 9UK and 8.5UK. Thanks in advance!


I just posted about this a few posts back. I'm generally a 10.5D in AEs and a 10D in Alden's Barrie. I found the 9.5UK Rui I ordered to be large. It was much more voluminous than I expected. A 9UK would be perfect. I'm a 9.5UK in the Hiro and Olfe.

Like it! However I would like to see first, how the new chiseled last looks like.

I might be interested in an olfe. I am lacking a light suede shoe and wasn't sure which way to go :D. Snuff suede is much darker than the one in the picture though isn't it?

This suede will be worlds better than the classica line sude.

Classic like is split suede (split leather + some backing for structural support)
this MTO is likely
reverse calf. (up to twice as thick. All one piece of leather)

They did when I went to the trunk show.
They have had LM suede shoes in the past and likely will in the future(just a guess).
But for the last few months they have not have had any high quality suede offerings (reverse calf)
