Hi. Are they still available?

Sorry, I thought for sure I had taken this down, but yes, unavailable. I do have a pair of used Maverick's in the same size, in a lighter shade of brown, that I'm planning on posting within the next week or two - price will be significantly lower due to pre-worn.

Here is the link for the pre-owned Bestetti's:



I've only worn them from September 2018 - March 2019. Other than that, I stick to loafers. You'll also notice there are some scratches in the back heel which I assume would be the most visible of any wear.
As they're $1,300 retail and only worn a handful of times, I think $475 is fair. Shipping included.

Nice. However, you did wear them out in six months! Front of the sole and heel are a bit worn. Plus the back scratches. But you provided good pics without hiding anything. Thanks for that. Look, I am not trying to be picky but for these I am willing to pay one third of their list price or $430, shipping to Geneva-Switzerland included. Hope you agree.

There's definitely noticeable wear, but not to the extent of what you're suggesting. And yes, I did point out the scratches, which is the most noticeable, but all other signs of wear seen are expected even within the first few months. If this was one of the average shoemakers you see on every other post or so i.e. C&J, Carmina, etc., I'd easily accept that price, but as you know, these are an extremely rare find.

Sure, I know Bestetti, I have two pairs. And I don’t wear Carmina or C&J. Another Styleforum member is selling a brand new pair of Mavericks for 650 euros all in so 430 dollars all in for these I still believe is correct.
