How is everybody sizing these? Especially the people that have already received them?
I'm a US12, which would be a 45, but in the sizing chart i appear to be a 46-46.5. Lian advised me to go with a 45 though, I want to trust him but also don't want something too small.

he told me it's a roomy toebox, thus sizing down was safe; this didn't surprise me because I size down from brannock frequently.

edit: not that I actually have my boots. I'll post how that decision pans out when they arrive.

It's the same one listed on their contact page([email protected]). If you haven't, check your spam folder. I've been sending him questions about his boots and other not yet available sneakers since late November, as MTO wasn't ready at the time and I was still on the fence between these and other shoes. He usually had an answer for me within the day, except when I asked if I could do a suede zip upper with natural soles, but even then, he replied within several hours telling me he'd have to check with the manufacturer first.
What was his answer on suede side-zips?

Suede side zips with natural soles were okay as of about a week or so ago.

When do you expect to get them?

I was just placed on the order list for late march for a pair of black calf sidezips and tan suede chelseas. Still unsure on the sizing and would love to know how they run so I can make a decision from there.

Sent an email to Lian about pricing and availability, here's what he had to say:

Figured I'd post here to make it easier for everyone.

I'm keen on seeing more pictures / reviews of the stuff they do, it sounds pretty great on paper.

Hi all, just discovered this thread. I received a pair of the cemented side zips in black calf leather a while ago, but I sold them and ordered the exact same pair in GY welted. I should receive the new pair sometime in February. Can anyone who owns MMM sidezips compare them further in terms of last/shape/quality? Before I discovered this brand I really wanted to get a pair of the famous MMM sidezips. I am considering purchasing a pair of black MMM sidezips (FW13), but I feel like it would be a little redundant as I already have a pair of side zips on order from Lian. Or I could purchase both and then keep the one I like the best... Any advice? @Razele @reedobandito @canstyleace @cyc wid it
