My first post, though I don't know how I've lived this long without knowing about this terrific forum. .Originally Posted by thansen88
Anyone have any ideas what one would wear midnight blue shoes with? I like the idea, but I can't think of an appropriate situation outside of formal.Originally Posted by RunningBeagle
It's the "casual" black.Originally Posted by fritzl
RB, how did you decide?Originally Posted by fritzl
However, given the.chikor's recent experience with Maftei, I do believe that they are more than willing to make a British-style shoe.Originally Posted by Eustace Tilley
After consulting with him, Prof. Hansen told me that Maftei said an adelaide would be no problem at all. Chose a chisel toe last, no cap, no medallion, mid brown. Pegged sole, initials in nails, very tight waist to impress SF membershipOriginally Posted by RunningBeagle
Dang, this is all very exciting. When do you think you will get them?Originally Posted by voxsartoria
Yes, no problem there. However, caveat, the easiest thing to do is give them a color photograph of the style you want and tell them the specifics you want with the shoe, e.g., sole thickness, pegged or sewn welt, padded insole, arch support, waist style (which the picture may not show too well.), etc. I would also ask to have Lucian Maftei make your shoes-he is the one that really likes to make the English last/styles.Originally Posted by the.chikor
Don't you have to do that with every maker? Especially on your first order?Originally Posted by fritzl

These boots are made from 6.5 oz Wickett & Craig English Bridle Leather. This tannery has been making leather the old fashioned way since 1867. Each side can take about six weeks to produce, making it a significantly longer production time than most leather on the market.
