Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[supernova]

A word of caution for those who are keen on lazyman oxfords.
You should be familiar with the last you choose and it should be very very very snug.
There are no laces to help correct for looseness if any.

Not painful,
BUT
Very very very snug.

Thanks for the advice. After sizing down from my usual uk6.5 to uk6, the 804 is v v v snug

Hey guys, i just bought this from Tangs-
http://www.afinepairofshoes.co.uk/products/saphir-creme-universelle?variant=516214949


I can just use a cloth to apply it right? Is it recommended to use Kiwi? I used a brush after the cream dried up but i noticed it left a fair amount of streaks. Normal? Or is the brush I'm using not good enough?

This is very preliminary but would any of you guys be interested in a gmto of this enzo model? Minus the perforations along the seams.

 

[supernova]

Doing an interest check - anyone interested in a pair of hatch grain chelseas from Enzo Bonafe? These are the chelseas without the seam on the side, only seams are on the back.

Something like the picture below but without the norvegese stitching. Thinking of:

- oxblood hatch (as shown in the picture) or something lighter like sienna hatch
- millerighe sole
- bombe construction for waist (hand welted rounded waist)
- 74945 last (or maybe 804)

I'll have to pass. Have something similar looking from Vass already...

804 last would look interesting I think..... I'm undecided on this one.... The previous Chelsea boots I had were pretty good.....

TM bro, that is a nice design! Will you consider other colours? Brown or burgundy? Realised my black shoes don't get much wear and will be keen if it's in any other colour besides black.

Thanks my friends for your interest.
Well, the picture is just to illustrate the general design. So I'm most definitely not doing it in black.
I will be keen on it in a shade of brown. And given the design, having it 2 tone is also a possibility.
I'm thinking leather soles with or without topy. And either in the 74945 or the 804.
Let me know your thoughts.

@arcfire - no problem!

Hi Thundermarch. I would be interested in this too. Am fine with your suggestions. Thanks.

Can let me know when you finalise the make up? Am on the fence but may be keen depending on colour/leather. The design looks quite elegant.

Thanks arcfire. Will let u know if can get more people interested. I find the hatchgrain quite elegant, and can go for a sleeker pair of boots like the many G&G burnhams I see on Instagram

It's a cool make-up.
You'll need to go through Solegarb, and hopefully if you can get more members involved he can give you a better price.
Good luck.

Sure thing!
I will keep you in the loop as well.

2 tone certainly sounds interesting. Here are my preliminary thoughts:

Last: 74945
Soles: prefer topy.
Leather: open to suggestions and just throwing out some ideas. How does a suede/ calf or grain/ calf combination sounds? Am ok with shades of brown such as Bolet, Etrusco, Meleze. My preference is towards a mid/ darker brown.

Am rather flexible with the make-up and will certainly try to accommodate.

Anyway, TM, are u thinking of getting this done via Skoak, Lusso or?

These are some good ideas here.
I am agreeable on the last and the soles.
Given that this is still a pretty dressy pair of shoes, I am leaning towards calf / grain, and etrusco / meleze are some good options for the calf part.

For this one... Lusso.

The oxblood hatch looks amazing! I'm undecided on this. Don't know if I want a Chelsea tho I don't have one at the moment. Can keep me updated on this? I would prefer leather with or without topy. But this really looks amazing.

I'm thinking a calf/grain combi would be good. Second the preference for mid to darker brown.
