One small gripe I have with my Chelsea's and wholecut oxfords is about the insole. I hope this can be taken into account with the HW-01. I have highlighted it here:

With both shoes, I can feel where the line is of the upper part. The upper part is not gradual enough towards the end to not feel it. It will lessen over time but I think it will be nicer to maybe make the slope juuust a bit more gradual.

As a consequence of this, in one of my Chelsea boot's the upper part has already come loose after maybe 4 wears...

Because our website photos are horrendous... :(
+1 Does any one have any photos of the wholecuts oxfords in any of the colors (burgundy or blue specifically)? Also how come the chisel and toe isnt as pronounced in the wholecuts vs the captoes just photo angles?

Have you had any chance of looking into this issue I experience with both shoes? @ArchibaldRoh @OrlandoMo

hey @archipel sorry about that. To be honest I didn't understand what was being said as your upper looks intact to me so I was leaving it to @Orlando to have a look and perhaps would understand it better.
Hey do you have any on feet in action shots of the wholecuts either the burgundy or blue? or would that be orlando?

I think it would be no one at this point as the batch is still being made. Delivery starts on the 13th of Nov I believe according to the latest update... I am guessing we will have a lot coming through the forum then?
