Dear Gentlemen,

A Graziat Fan here, so far I have 4 Pairs from them including:
1) Horsebit Loafer (Black)
2) Tassle Loafer (Green Patina)
3) Roman Sandals (Brown Patina)
4) Double Monk Alligator (Brown Patina)

The first post here will show u the Horsebit loafer, as you can see before when worn new and after under the bar counter, it creases & ages nicely. For those who like spade/sharp looking shoes. Wilbur is definitely the top choice.

Fresh out of the box. First pair of ACME added to my collection. I plan to wear them a few times and then will post some thoughts and compare them to some other brands I have. Thinking given the price point I’ll compare to EG or G&G, Meccariello, Saint Crispin, Fukuda and maybe one of the other Chinese makers.

New heels, but the sanding job was not great at a local cobbler. I noticed the markings on the fiddleback.

The cobbler removed the old loose thread and re-stitched the back of the shoe at no charge. I left the cobbler a tip for the service.

Last pic is after two months of daily wear. Took me about 48 hours to break-in the leather. I had to wear a band-aid on my foot. The leather finally took to the shape of my feet.

Another wear of these while I try to get enough wears in to write my review here.
