How would you describe their sizing in terms of length/ width/ instep?
I chatted with them but their response was a bit fuzzy
I'm afraid I don't have them in my hands yet. They're at a friend's house in Vietnam, and I'm waiting for the borders to open.

Man, I can’t buy a break ?. First my Oct.Tenth order was delayed due to broken boxes (hoping ? to receive them in the next week or so after having a new box shipped) and now I just received a message that my Yeossal order has been delayed 8 weeks due to the maker not having enough leather on hand. Been a rough go of it lately with my Chinese-made shoes!

Posting some shots of the Oct Tenth Burgundy Hatchgrain SpTD.

Conditioned them using one coat of Saphir's Renovator. Then Applied one coat of Saphir's Medaille D'Or Burgundy Cream Polish. One Coat of Saphir's Medaille D'Or Burgundy Wax to the entire shoe. And another coat of Saphir's Medaille D'Or Burgundy to the toes and heels. With some good brushing in between each application.

Fantastic pictures! If I could routinely take pictures that make my shoes look half as good, I'd be a SF pictorial legend ?.
