Pardon my poor photography skills, old phone and polish.

They look great! Colour combi abit too dandy for me to carry off in the office though.

Question: do they fit more like loafers or monks?

 

[likehotbutter]

Damm

Thats an awesome shade of Navy.

Would anyone be interested in a Navy Shell chukka mto lol? Thinking if still want a contrast two row goyser

 

[Darknight55]

Loafers. Just needed a dandy shoe that i can take off easily when visiting clients' offices who set such ridiculous rules.

 

[likehotbutter]

So the buttons aren't really functional in the sense that u can slip on/off the shoes w/o having to unfasten them? I think a black n grey suede or burgundy and black suede combi can work for me! Haha

Anyone willing to let go their spare tongue pads? Willing to pay of course

Look forward to your pics and reviews. Interested to know your thoughts on price/quality of Orbans vs other entry level brands like loake, meermin

Let's see if the trunk show is happening. Potential to materialize it!

Yes I know Darknight55 did posted some pics of his EB button loafers. But here's another shot I took a while ago. Yup, same GMTO order and thank you Darknight55 for your participation!



Model: 2687 (3-eyelet button shoes)
Last: 363MOD last (generous fitting last)
Calf: Vitello Bleu (Dark blue calf, similar to EG Midnight Blue Antique)
Suede: Hidro Schiefer (Dark grey suede with a slightly green undertone)
Soles edge: Dark brown
Number of buttons: 3 (non-functional)
Colour of buttons: Navy
Construction: Handwelted
Soles: Single leather soles, beveled waist

EB's 363MOD last is much comparable with Carmina's Rain last, but EB's having a higher instep. As I have a relatively wide feet, high instep and narrow heels, generally, EB suits me well. As advised by Gabriel, I took a 5.5 UK for EB as compared to 6 UK in Rain last. No break-in period needed actually. I've worn these button loafers twice on separate occasions (>9 hours each) without any grumbling. Fit is excellent, finishing (including the sewn buttons) is decent. To be honest, I don't find any difficulty wearing them for both casual and/or formal occasions. But well, this all boils down to respective dress work attire too.

I'm wondering how it would look with a more chiseled or round chiseled last like 74945 or 804 or 946

GO FOR IT! Hehe.

I heard that EB are raising their prices soon? I don't know how soon and I'm uncertain if this applies to both RTW and GMTO as well. Maybe someone with a better understanding can shed some light. But nonetheless, now is a great time to purchase; to appease the longing desire...
