I was thinking the same but felt a bit crass asking people to post given my position! Threads have died down somewhat perhaps given a lot of talk is about delays.
A further update from myself then.
The shoes came with extra laces and a shoe horn. I've worn my black pebbled pair two full days now. Probably clocked about 8km of walking. They've been comfortable from the outset and the creasing has been subtle. I also have a pair of Archibald's Oxfords in Anticato green (same size and last). They crease more and the leather is stiffer. I prefer the pebbled pair for comfort. The leather is softer, but also more durable (if that makes sense). I have not polished or treated them in any way yet.

Got mine finally but seems like it's 1 size too small even after sizing up from the recommended size. Any possibility for an exchange?

If anyone is interested in cut-price hand welted shoes (yes below Naked), I am doing some spring cleaning and selling the few pairs we have here at a loss as we look to clean up the category so call it a sample sale if you will. Please feel free to message me on whatsapp if interested.

I was recently following the thread for best value shoemaker and saw a couple of comments that instigated me to request @JFWR to try the shoes in return for a fully honest, unbiased review... One way or the other.


He very kindly managed this yesterday and highlighted some things for us to take into account when developing the next last.

The Naked pricing in the US for most of thesr is currently usd 295, these will be reviewed next week as costs have significantly increased thanks to Brexit (initial leg of europe to UK).

All the more reason to buy another pair now, I'd say!

These shoes are amazing.

I posted a little while ago about my black cap toe from Archibald and how they creased a little too quick for me. It was definitely due to the sizing. I sized up .5 and wow it makes a huge difference. These bad boys are one of the finest shoes I've gotten my hands on. The leather quality on these Anticato feels even more superior to the black cap toe... The finishings on these are immaculate.
