You got the EB Gatoraide right?
I've been flip floping between the 2 the past day. Noticed 2 people already committed to the balligator and 0 for the wingtip boot. i'm torn right now.

I would so be in on the Balligator if I hadn't been in on the Gatoraide. I really can't justify two black calf/gator oxfords now... or can I?

Yup! I was on the balligator. Honestly if I didn't have a few more MTOs in the pipeline, and if I was more sure of how L&T fit my feet, I'd be in on both the balligator and the wingtip boot. They both look stunning.

I sprang for a personalized last with St. Crispin's awhile back (which should be incoming any day now!) so I feel like I should just keep using that because I know it'll fit near perfectly.

^^^^^^^
Those boots are almost as impressive as the level of assistance Douglas and Alexander have provided me this week.:alien:

I continue to be impressed, but am no longer surprised, by the high quality of customer care Skoak provides.

The GMTO of the EB longwings looks sick!

https://www.skoaktiebolaget.com/col.../enzo-bonafe-tarnsjo-wingtip-crowdfunder-gmto

I already got a pair coming in Tärnsjö or I'd be over it I think. 363 mod doesn't fit that well though :(

IMO the 363MOD is the perfect last for a longwing. You want something a little more rounded. My black shell longwings are on the 363MOD and I feel like it suits them perfectly (photo's from a couple months ago, luckily we don't still have snow on the ground!):

My problem too, 363 last simply would not work for my feet at all. I tried three different sizes and had no luck. It's a short but wide last.

It wasn't wide enough for me so I had to go with the 173 on my MTO.

It's such a beautiful last though

@Leaves any idea on when you can give us a sense of what the Lof and Tung chukka boot might look like? ;-)
