The fit depends how success the last fits your feet, took 2 goes before my customised last worked for my feet. I saw a lot of posts on here where someone posted they are getting a pair of mod. lasted pair, and they are expecting the fit to be perfect, well, that is not even the case for bespoke shoes most of the time as they require different fittings. I didn't want to rain on their parade.

SC is quite stiff, breaking in takes a bit of time, then they will become normal.

The heal and toe stiffners really are extreme stiff. Mine feel almost like they have steal toes. Gives you piece of mind that the shoe won't lose its shape.

Do you know if SC uses celastic or shoulder for their stiffeners? I believe the former won't mold to your foot, but the later will.

leather stiffeners for the heel, like most other high end RTW, not sure about the toe.

Can you please post some more photos? I am curious to see the leather up close. Thanks.

Could someone describe how the Yoyo (GEYO) sole is in terms of grip and cushioning?

How does it compare to other rubber soles (Dainite, Ridgeway, Commando etc.)?

They are indeed!

I've got them in crust leather, but a pair of suedes are not far away.

"******* awesomeness" pretty much sums it up.

Sure thing!

The suede is quite hairy and rich.

That suede is great.

That suede is great.

That suede is stunning. My next up is a suede mod 539. I already have it in CRU, but its just an awesome loafer I could see myself wearing in 2-3 more finishes/colors options. I am looking at KUD suede, but does anyone know the differences between the different suede options STC has?

Just ordered a pair of mod 105 in Russian calf. Can't wait til they arrive (Shamelessly stole this pic from the google)
