Split Toe Derby

[JohnMRobie]

I love that shoe! Thanks for pointing out the MTO. I was on the website and confused about the various lasts in the drop down, and not knowing anything about how they compare to each other, let alone to other manufacturer's lasts. Does anyone know where to find this info? thanks!

They have a general about their MTO Program page that has photos of all the lasts. I also spent some time chatting with them about which lasts may work best for me based on my fit in various other lasts which was super handy and *fingers crossed* should lead to a great fit.

also, anyone know who makes these shoes for them? They look like TLB Mallorca's Artista line

most likely it’s xibao shoemaker

@dieworkwear I could see sizing be a problem with those ?.

They are whiskey shell cordovan.

Is that the coveted Alden x Cabbage Patch Whiskey shell makeup?

Unsure as to why, but I prefer a single monk over the double.

How about this and I love this G&G Double monks which I did MTO sometime back!
I know it’s a sleek last and some don’t prefer the Deco last so ymmv!

It's a beautiful looking shoe. I do like the Deco, but only under certain make-ups.

That said, when I see them this sleek they look better on the shelf than on my feet.
Just would not fit the rest of my attire.
