Didnt realize they are on sale that often. Any other sites other than Skoa you have tried and can recommend? Will be keeping my eye out for sales.

Got a pairnof shoe from Sabot by AM aeris line. I realised when I am wearing the shoe and both feet flat on the ground, the right shoe seems to have something protruding from the heel such that The shoe can move up and down like tapping the ground. Is this a issue with quality or common? I have quite a number of gyw shoes but this is quite apparent from my first wear. Today is second wear. Any advise, thanks

I think yours is too big

Anyone here has experience in sending GYW/handwelted shoes to be re-welted (not just re-soled)?

Care to share details including the following:
- Shoe make
- Send to cobbler or back to original shoe maker or third party shoe maker
- Cost of re-welting
- Logistics costs (shipping fees)
- Total time taken from sending out shoes to receiving shoes back

Thanks!

it is absolute irony, we buy such shoes because they can be resoled but typically the cost and effort would nudge you towards buying new shoes instead.

it depends on your shoe manufacturer.. allen edmonds for example has an excellent and fairly priced program, that is, if you lived within the US.. else you can just get it done at decent local cobblers.. yet to do so so i dont know any but you could start there.

Took these instead of the regular running shoes for holidays. 3 full days of walking and the condition of the shoes came out better than expected. Toes a bit sore on the side.
Style over comfort

Wiz, care to share more about the shoes? Last, type of suede etc ......... thanks!

Well, here's a shot of it, if anyone is actually keen.

FYI, if you've missed what this was about. I'm selling this pair in UK6, 962 last from Yanko!

Hi I'm interested but will need to try them first as I'm not sure I'll fit since Simpson is a narrow last.

Also how much are you selling them for?

Boosting your post a bit .......

Good stuff, great shots of very nice shoes! I am sure someone very lucky will pick them up.

You know what might help? A short review

unfortunately, these are brand new and still pristine (havent taken out the box) so what i'd suggest is you could pop by capitol mall's carmina outlet to give the simpson 7.5 a shot (its not super duper snug).

I've rain lasts, forest lasts, robert lasts, simpsons last.. all in 7.5.. im a 7.5 u.k.. more like 7.4 but i use orthopedic insoles anyway so its all good bro. im not selling them because they dont fit, but because ive way way too many carminas for my own good lol.

Totally agree, I like that last too.

I know you mentioned Antonio Meccariello the other day. What else do you have in your shoe wardrobe Wiz?

Very nice pair. How is the 962 last compared to 912?

In my small humble collection, I have LLYRs, Yankos, Corno Blu, Enzo Bonafés and Antonio Meccariellos
