If you absolutely want to fix them, white paint is probably going to help the most. Personally, I'd probably just leave them, it isn't terrible and I feel like the white paint would make it look worse unless it is a really good job

Taking a brief trip into the office for the first time in a long time. St. C natural shell austerity longwings. Maybe my best purchase from Skoak. :) one of many though so it’s hard to be certain… :p

New loafers from Enzo Bonafe, art. 645 on 363mod. last in janus testa di moro. Very well made as usual with Enzo Bonafe. My first pair on the 363mod. last and I'm impressed with the fit. My feet don't match with most loafer lasts because I have a high instep. So I'm very happy to have finally found a pair of loafers that offers a proper fit. And thank you SkoAB for the perfect service as per usual.

This is indeed the regular dark brown, EB calls it janus testa di moro. I take the same size as 74945 but I only have oxfords and derbies in that last, so no experience with loafers on 74945.

ugh i've been TRYING to avoid looking at these, I own the kingsley in this leather and it is amazing. So part of me is like "well just get em, great loafer, great leather" and the other part of me already owns wholecuts in brown and taupe suede... UGH.

I listed some EB (including the skin stitch split toe) in the classified. All NIB, 10.5 UK. Check it out.

Just got mine, the color looks a bit inconsistent but guess that’s just the property of this leather, very wild, now I regret of using 74945 instead of 363 MOD, figure 363MOD may look better:)
Really nice! Is the 363 MOD more rugged, is that it? I'm new to Bonafe, having only the Skoak GMTO Tarnsjo chukka on the 74945. I've also got this same wild deer leather on order in a split-toe derby from another maker, and I can't really picture how the skin is going to mesh with the style. I think it looks great on your boots!

Sadly I will have to let these go as the instep is a bit high for me...
It’s a UK7.5 in the 74945 last.
Only tried it on for literally 2 mins. Please DM if interested. Thanks
