The dark brown suede on the F last is nicely done. Don't think it will work as well in the U last.Originally Posted by Omega Man
I think it works like a dream on U-last with Goyser stitching. F-last is nice but it looks much slicker in leather, suede makes it look more bulbous than it is..

Funny how this thread gets so active after the Kolecho shipments! I received my 3 pairs yesterday. One of them fits great. The other two are a bit off right now, but will hopefully work with a bit of re-jiggering (insoles, tongue pads, etc.). Fingers crossed! No photos yet, but I grabbed the following:
- U last Chukka in medium brown suede, double leather sole tapering to a single
- F last u-cap in Bordeaux shell cordovan, double leather sole tapering to a single
- New Peter last Norweger in antique cognac, double leather sole in tan with natural stitching
- U last Chukka in medium brown suede, double leather sole tapering to a single
- F last u-cap in Bordeaux shell cordovan, double leather sole tapering to a single
- New Peter last Norweger in antique cognac, double leather sole in tan with natural stitching

You can email/call the store. Or you can pay someone else to do it for you.

Ahhhhhhhh awesome. One more dumb question: how do you know exactly what your size will be?Originally Posted by Bull
What answer could there possibly be besides try them on? You can get advice from them on approximate, but how can anyone tell you exactly what size to order?

TRINI - will try to get pics soon, but not sure when.
upnorth - the U last fits me the best, but I already knew it would as I have a 44 U austerity brogue. The tips of my big toes rub a touch against the front of the shoes so I took a gamble and ordered a 44 in F and NP as I didn't think I wanted any less length, but they are definitely roomy all around. A 43.5 probably would be better, but we'll see. Heading back to the office now to wear them around again for a few minutes on the carpet.

I hate having to re-jigger shoes for fit.

Iirc, most recommend a .5 difference between U and F sizes, i.e. US9 = 42 in the F and 42.5 in the U, with the U being better for those with a more pronounced/higher instep.
