Here’s pair #2 as part of the recent shoe shopping spree – RTW Corthay Wilfred in old wood calf and Parisian brown suede calf.
<EDIT>: These are referred by Will of A Suitable Wardrobe as a city shoe, which is a non-boot version of the galosh. <EDIT>
These were made to the 002 last, which works better for me since the 001 last runs too long and narrow and the retailer didn’t carry half sizes or any widths other than E.
A bit of a close up…
Off we go on the 360 degree spin…
The finishing on the sole is very nice…
Let’s get into the details. The finishing is just first class.
The reverse burnishing works well with as the shoe darkens inwards.
Photo manipulated to bring out the way this would age.
Finally, the shoe trees look suspiciously like Berluti.
Thanks for reading
