Most welcome.

The twirling of the laces is most problematic with flat laces. To minimise (but not completely eliminate) the problem, for new shoes that have flat laces in, I will remove the laces entirely and lay them out completely flat and then lace them up again ensuring that the flat edge always faces up. And make sure there is no twisting as the lace goes through the eyelet.
It helps for subsequent wears, though you might still get the problem intermittently. After awhile though, you do get used to it.
The biggest headache is with balmoral boots that do not have speed hooks.

You guys really should just hold till Ryan gets them in. Enzos really aren't as easy to move as Carminas etc.

Damn it why am I a 9 in Detroit and not a 8.5 I could probably have gotten shoes for 5 CNYs with thundermarch's collection. LOL

TM in 8.5 Carmina Detroit Last. 9 in Simpson Last?
If so... We got the same size.
Could get my hands on the pairs you're letting go from your collection!

Meccariello promo period supposed to be til end Sep but looks like still promo price.. Anytime could increase.. MTL

The GMTO now pay 50% nia, also can MTL

Ehhh so many conflicting info from different people. Most likely stick to Gabriel's advice bah, 9.5. Got a couple of weeks to think about it

Even saw someone on SF wearing it in the same size as Simpson last!

This upfront 25% / 50% thing is damn dangerous and misleading.
It gives you this false sense of low expenditure, sucks you in.
And before you know it, you would have spent a bundle.
4 months down the road, you're suddenly hit with 5 / 6 invoices for GMTOs you forgot about.
Lol

Edit
- But I'll say this. At this current price point, even though not handwelted, Antonio's RTW line still offers extraordinary value. I'd really not hesitate on these.
