And whoever does the polishing uses Saphir. The smell was unmistakable when I opened the box.


did you ask for the darkened parts? imo, they make them less versatile?

Well aware that TF shoes dont get a lot of love here on the forum, but whatever, I love these.
Just came in yesterday, MTO, cognac leather captoes. I tried to capture the lasting on the toe box, it is definitely different than EG, G&G, etc. It does have a chiseled shape, but also much higher/roomier. And the waist is just awesome--the narrowest waist of any type of shoes I have, not quite as pronounced as G&G decos, but close.
And whoever does the polishing uses Saphir. The smell was unmistakable when I opened the box.
And if anybody can tell me why my photos are rotated upside down, I am all ears.


The Tom Ford anti-gravity shoes are striking! Quite distinctive.

What will you be wearing them with?

Isshi - The British Walker's in Horny Lizard are remarkable.

Being horny and all do they reproduce in your shoe closet? Might your wife accept this explanation for the proliferation of shoes?

Thanks for sharing them.

I will say this. The first time I sized down in G&G on that last I SWORE I wouldn't be able to wear the shoes the first time I tried them on. The second time I decided to give them a go. After 3-4 wearings they are now just fine.

Good Luck!

Wow, I didn't know you were a naked little black baby! :uhoh:

So they fit now?

You know my feet do change size a lot when I fly. On a long flight I always take my shoes off and when putting them back on before landing I can barely cram my foot into them. After an hour or so they are fine. But that is mostly a 'volume' issue. The length and width at the toes doesn't really change.

They do. It feels like they have loosened up a bit, in any case, im keeping them. I just laced them up for the first time and they feel fine. One thing about G&G is that the leather is so soft and flexible that is molds to you feet. After walking on the carpet for a few mins, they fit without any small toes sticking out.

edit-i reserve stanky leg baby gif for extra special occasions.

Summer reappeared finally in Sydney yesterday. For the wife's birthday dinner out thought I'd try my new 1950s vintage Sears Roebuck ventilated spectators:
