^ I'm sure you're looking for a response from Leaves, but I'll shoot anyway, esp. given that he's heading somewhere nice. Those shoe trees are, as you likely know, not lasted. They should fit Carmina's Rain last just fine. For what it is worth, I have some boots in the Rain last and standard shoe trees fit them just fine. I doubt they are significantly better or worse for the Rain last than other non-lasted shoe trees, provided you get the correct size.

Thanks for the reply! I'm trying to weigh my options since I want to use a better tree than the generic cedar, and skaoktiebolaget's trees are just beautiful.

I think id might be interested in a bal boot as well for the rain, except the upper in suede and shaft in full grain leather. Dainite sole of course. Burgundy first choice, navy maybe 2nd choice.

If Enzo Bonafe is able to produce a double monk boot, like the left one. (I doubt if Carmina is willing to try a new model.)

I propose one in black/navy/chestnut grain calf with danite / commondo sole, in norwegian welting & smart round toe last.

Balmoral cap toe or not? Open for discussion. But first of all is that making sure Enzo Bonafe is willing to do that or not.

The origin is a bespoke model from a Japanese shoemaker Hiro Yanagimachi

Bonafe only do one type of split toe to my knowledge. I don't have access to that style at the moment but it was posted not so long ago in the Bonafè appreciation thread.

That double monk boot in chestnut would be amazeballs.
