Novecento?
Does anyone have pics of Bestetti's that have been worn for a while. Interested to see how the leather holds up.
Here are two recent pics of my Bestettis, the first ones are almost 2 years old I think, and the other pair about 1 year. Both have been worn regularly, and hold up great, both uppers and soles. Especially the leather of my first pair is awesome, so soft and supple and in complement with the good fit they crease very little:
Thanks! Yeah especially the Maverick went very fast, and the other ones seems to move now as well, so if you're interested might want to act fast in that wholecut.These are spectacular! I was about to pull the trigger on the RTW Mavericks but they are already sold out in most sizes. Considering the burgundy wholecut now.
Are the pics taken directly after wear, or don't you use shoe trees? If the latter, you really should.
Is this rtw line handwelted? Where to buy?A comment about the RTW sizing. As a 10D US, the 9 UK is perfect (I fixed droopy lacing). Going a full size down in some other brands has been painfully tight. I do have a higher instep and arch, and could even go with a slightly thicker sock when these are completely broken in. I'd hate for the Bestetti RTW line to get too popular, because my size will be impossible to get! Based on this latest run though, probably too late. Hand welted with overall great construction and finishing (+ trees) for under $900? And the English brands continue to restrict policies and increase pricing??...good luck.

Nice pic! Yeah it's tough, since Bestetti is already swamped with work. He really would need a few more employees.
From the Swedish store Spiga 3. Maverick is gone in most sizes already though, and so is the Boston derby. Still a few of the wholecut Richilieu left though. They are filling up the stock, but will take a while before they are done.
When will the maverick restock? Why no half sizes?
