@Leaves is this true?

Still negotiating. Anyone one the fence should place an order ASAP.

Must not be an easy life being a shoe retailer these days. Most makers have their own webshop and offer a decent online service (not on the same level of SkoAB but still). This gives them an even stronger position in negotiations because they're not as dependent on retailers as before. This allows them to change the rules at their sole discretion. I can see why @Leaves set up his own brand with Lof&Tung but even then he's dependent on the factory making the shoes (and they do have their own quirky policies as well!). Luckily there's still makers like Enzo Bonafe who can't be bothered with setting up webshops and dealing with annoying customers like us Here's to Enzo Bonafe!

All of that is true.

Anyone of you guys got any experience of instep in button boots? I'm thinking of a MTO on the 74945 last... I got a pair of hunter boots, but the instep is too high. My other boots - the 3937 and 391 got high insteps but it works.

I know button boots are notorious, so I want to see if anyone has experience of it before I start dreaming too much...

Do lasts differ in the instep? I can try on the 363mod pair in the shop if they got my size to see if it works.

In my experience the 74945 has a lower instep than the 363mod and 804. I take a 9.0 in 363mod and 804, but 9.5 in 74945.

Casual friday OakTarnsjo chukkas from 2016. I love how this veg tan leather ages. I find these extemely versatile. I believe its my most versatile shoes of my collection.

Any chance of a utah grain chelsea this year? Especially if they come in UK 5.5?

The hunter boots are really something special. I'm very happy I was able to support Skoaktiebolaget during the sale, but also happy that it is a pair that I really like too.

 

[Guccinski L.V.]

I like hatch-grain boots with pebble-grain pants.

A couple of months back some people were interested in the Danny Sneaker in Utah Calf. But I already had an order placed so it was a bit overkill to do a GMTO. The Danny in Utah has now launched together with some other nice goodies. Will post more of those later.

@Leaves
Are S loafers wider than T loafers in the toes?

Thank you @Leaves . Order placed for this and hope they fit well. I would even love a version of black Utah calf with black sole.

Took the Park out for a spin again today.

Had a message asking to share the rest. My apologies for not including it off the bat. Black Lapel, Brooks shirt, Turnbull & Asser tie.

And I'm enjoying the hell out of not having to shave every day.
