Don't tell anyone but I got a discount. He has a factory outlet located at the outskirts of Florence.

Wow, new Koronya pictures?

I was wondering what was the latest on the koronya/rosenbaums debacle? The person who purchased the shoes got his money back after taking them to court and I've heard nothing about it since, but these photos are recent so I assume there was an explanation from Marcel? If I recall correctly he refused to provide one back in spring.

Thanks Kuro. The fit is very good for the first pair. Its extremely comfortable. Feels sturdy but light and very snug at the instep. The right foot is spot on perfect but the left needs some minor tweaks at the vamp and the heel, which will be addressed in the second commission. There is also a lot of support at the arch. HF likes the facings to be completely closed when the shoe laces are tied, unlike Tony Gaziano who likes the facing to be a little open like an inverted "V".
