Even better:

stilmacher, ask Mike to step into a shoe-fitting fluoroscope for your inspection:

There was a time where they had those things in every shoe shop.
You can still find one in the Northampton shoe museum.

Why would anyone with feet that big choose a shoe that makes them look like a pair of skis.
That toe-box is ugly.

Kuro I'm glad to see I'm not the only worshipper of this unique design

Luk-cha, I need variety and thus came the Wigmore boot, the Canterbury and Thorpe

I love the hard square chiseled last which George Cleverley helped pioneer years ago...G&G just refined it more for the MTO client in the form of the TG73 or the soft square last on the MH71

Bengale-stripe, its hard to believe but people use to get their feet X-rayed all the time years ago to ensure proper fit...now the liability lawyers for the shoe companies and retailers know better

Stillmacher, what kind of shot...can I just wear them and then took a foot shot of myself or do you want someone else to take the picture while I'm wearing them?

It's more red than cigar. It's like #8 but lighter.

Love them but I'd do without the metal eyelets. They look kind of huge, what size are they?
