Yeah those AW10 Augusta back zips are some of my fav boots ever. I would love to find a size 8 somewhere in like new condition. I'm pissed I didn't pick up the pair Mike Nouveau had for sale on SZ last year.

docus, both the low and tall avantindietro spiral zips are phenomenal. absolutely beautiful.

I never see people pair avantindietro with cdg or yohji, but I think they'd work really well.

Tried on some Augusta derbys in horse. Really nice, but really pricey. My size (big) and fit like ze glove. Should I leap or?

These are really nice.

By the way does anybody know anything about the lasts guidi uses (I.e. which styles are similar in fit?)

What model you comparing in particular? My guess is most the really popular models use the same last. The thicker soled models use the same last plus 1 additional layer of leather added to the heel and sole. Not 100% sure. My Guidi size is the same across the board for all current models.

So I've been reading this thread more often recently but I'm still pretty ignorant. Could someone tell me whether or not these Guidi are a good buy for $550?
