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.

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:
MG_0882_1024x1024.jpg


Pic B:
MG_2435-1024x822.jpg


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! :D

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

I managed to fit into the Simpson in UK9. And it turns out, my Loake Capital last is wrong size for me. Much thanks to TM for the advice on size for various lasts and brands.

I should be the one thanking you guys for coming, and for giving the shoes a better home.
The "open house" was a great success.
Lol.

Thanks for the "Shoe Galore" day man!
Meccariello is impeccable.

You're welcome man.
Barring handwelted RTW shoes, where the comparison can be a little difficult....
Meccariello, without a doubt, makes the best RTW shoes in the world.
I do not believe anyone comes close.

Definitely concur with that. Don't even need to stand to feel the comfort and the fit of Meccariello.
Am considering Optio or Principes model.
Again, great meet up. Next time man.

Sure thing.
I have a pair of Optio that I'm awaiting, so if you wish, you can come over to try them on for size when they arrive.
