[chillplz]

This might sound dumb but is it possible to topy a rubber sole shoe?

 

[xtwis7]

If there's anybody keen on sharing shoe shipping from A Fine Pair of Shoes please PM me. Have a pair that I'm keen but free shipping is 300 pounds so even with tax, it would make sense to combine 2 pairs.

BOH.... sad.... feel like ordering online.... but the last round I ordered.... end up wrong size... wear until toes pain

Yes or no as it is very much depends on whether if there is sales for the pair you are getting? Apart from that, you probably need to meet certain amount to enjoy free shipping and it also subject to exchange rate charged by the credit company. More importantly try the size of the last locally, if you could; before your triggering the button. Generally, I have to down 1 size.

If it is a gyw and there is already a hole shouldn't you look to resoling instead? I would figure a sole protector would be a band aid measure.

The hole is right in the middle and it’s a very small hole, that’s why I would love to topy it over, say topy is 100% surface, the hole right in the middle with surface of 0.1%? Once topy over I am quite sure no water will go through that hole

Any recommendations for someone with a Wide feet ?

 

[Kegler]

Not really cheaper .... I just want a design that they didn’t bring in

Bought a yanko from seamless bespoke.... wonderful experience, very friendly and accommodating.... will go back for more

Just go Seamless Bespoke for Enzo Bonafe/Yanko. and Yeossal for their AMs & Y range. I suspect you are same size as me.

Enzo's are general true to size with high insteps. They are all on sales right now with 20% - 40% discount ($498 - $622). Great value, I managed to grab one at $498 last week. Go before gone, they are clearing stock and will only be doing GMTO going forth.

Yeossal has a few brands, is expanding their Y by Yeossal big time. I saw like 8-10 new models for display last week.

They are all better value than Carmina in terms of leathers used and workmanship, even without sales.

I was previously considering a pair of AM Split toe GMTO from Yeossal which is no longer available but it seems the same design is available in their new range Y by Yeossal MTO

The maker and the leather used is no longer by Meccariello. Any one with experience on both the last and leather quality? It stated the new range MTOs are made in the Far East now, not sure if the maker is a trade secret? Or Yim shoemaker?

Also the sizing seems to be vastly different, a UK10 is a 46 which I presume is CN, not EU.

Great to hear you found something that you like. You should also head down to Yeossal. Their TLBs are in the same ball park price and quality as Yanko. The maker used to be from Yanko as well.

Think you are confused with the Y by Yeossal range. They have AM range (Argentum welted) which are made in Italy and another china range (hand-welted) that are made in China. The former general uses better quality leather in their uppers... meaning less shoes made from a single piece of hide... leading to better choice of leather used.

As for the latter, the maker is not Yim Shoemaker but some other shoe maker in China. Decent workmanship, leather quality. Being hand-welted, more time and effort are spent in making the shoes. Great bang for the buck for $798 with shoes trees. They have also expanded their range and opening a lot more MTO options (about 10 more models). As for sizing, why not go down and try out, since they have a physical store in SG. Do note to make an appointment before you go down or go on Saturday afternoons.

I must be missing something here because the new Y MTO range is going for $918-$958 plus $120 MTO upcharge on their website rather than $798. Is $798 some inner circle or group pricing?

Sorry, didn't realise the new MTOs are priced at $918. Current RTW and previous MTOs were all priced at $798. There is a 13% increase in the MTO offerings.

 

[striker22]

I am sure they could turn out to be good value.

However the pricing (base + MTO) would give me pause with an unknown maker. Oftentimes, the best skins are given to the larger more established clientele. Also, harder to resell if they do not fit after several wears.

Nonetheless I will drop by the store to find out more. Might ask them to restart the GMTO AM Centurion from April again instead.
