Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

This color combi is also quite sick. I'm thinking if we could have the side of the button shoe done like this instead of being straight around the sides.

C'mon.... no one tempted? haha

Actually Navy and loden look pretty nice.....

I like this...........

I thought Jfitzpatrick has button shoes and boots in their RTW collection.

Where do you guys buy your shoe trees? Bought from TB and they seems too big even when I choose 39/40 for my size 40 shoes.

Haha... how about some pics to boost support... grabbed this online...

Lazyman style?

Or this?

Or this?

Thanks arc! Loden or grey suede black calf plain captoe?

Yes, they do but we'd prefer the balmoral style compared to having the seams run down to the welt like the Jfitz ones. Plus, who can resist Enzos?

Yes they do. But not quite liking saddle style design of the suede part.

looking at the "balmoral" style suede design like the pics arc shared.

Would you be interested in the sides being like this instead of straight line across the sides?

Plain captoe does make it look more elegant.

I'm waiting for the swatches to be available at Lusso so that I can put the color combi side by side for a better look at how it would turn out.

Am good but with plain seams. Yeah, swatches plus 2 more pax. Surely this cant be harder than a blogger crowd funding for legal fees??

I'll be totally honest.
I respect the man....
But J Fitz designs nowadays have been bordering on the ridiculous.

Anyone know if robinsonsshoes promo for this month is over already?

Aqatelier, can try at Lusso or with Alvin himself

Lasted trees from the brand itself if available. This is pricey tho

I guess that's his style.. He has not been shy in sharing his bias towards exploring different colours and materials in his designs. Next level stuff.

Not really my cup of tea either.. the button shoe if it happens will be my "boldest" pair yet, but probably mild by most other standards.

You are right. He is selling his shoes to folks who have a lot of shoes.

If a person wants to buy a 'normal' shoe, there is a ton of makers out there doing classic designs.

Good luck with it.
It is fairly dandy, really.
TBH I hope your GMTO comes to fruition. Would be keen to see how it turns out.

So to summarize the GMTO AIAD and I have in mind:

Model: Button shoe (not boots)

Design: Plain captoe balmoral style with plain stitching.

Sides will be like pic A below and not the straight across kind and there will not be broguing.

Color: Black calf for bottom, Loden suede for top. There will be a centre line where the lace will be as with all button boots but we will use the same suede material so there will not be a contrast there like what you see in pic B.

Sole: Preference for single sole with topy. If anyone has any thoughts, let me know.

Last: Likely the 946

Pic A:

Pic B:

Pic B pretty much sums up the design of the shoe sans the contrasting centre line on the suede part and the seam that runs on the side of the shoe.

Anyone out that that is keen, let me know!

I'm planning to run it through Lusso if we get enough people on board.

 

[anodize]

I hate to say this...... But count me in for this GMTO. Lol.

Would I be able to determine my 946 last size at Lusso? Don't want to play a guessing game on it.

Lusso has an adelaide that's in the 946.
