Antonio Meccariello GMTO Ideas

[Encore]

Where did our Double Monk GMTO end up with?

 

[clee1982]

Thanks @clee1982 you beat me to it. I'm open to color as well, but preference to the basics (i.e. not grey, blue, etc.). I'm fine with single material, but would be good with a subtle bi-material as well.

I'd vote leather soles + metal toe taps.

i don't think you will have to worry about sole combination (other than a full on dainite?) like in the past the "standard" is always just leather sole, then each person can choose metal toe taps or not, vibram insert or not etc.

Floating another idea

Optio Equitum boot (Exactly as picture)


Open to color, but my preference would be dark brown/burgundy, and I would say no bi-material on this one.

think interest so far?

no taker?

no taker?

How many do we need? 6? Do you know the GMTO price?

From memory, single MTO fee is ~150 euro, stock optio boot in my size is 610 euro, so if single MTO would be ~760 euro

believe the way it works is
1. Minimal 6, then starting form 6 it get 50% off on MTO fee, i.e. 610+150*0.5 = 685
2. from there every pair subtract 12.5, so another 6 (i.e. 12 in total) would take out the MTO fee completely to get back to 610 RTW price.

I'll pass on this, but thanks. Just not really what I'm looking for at this point, considering the cost.

Are you good with Hawksbill last or were you thinking something else?

prefer Chisel 2 just because I know it fits, if I take Hawksbill I would probably order wider fit though might have to live with slightly looser heel (less of an issue on boot though I suppose).

edit: Or if Mayfair 2 fits like Chisel 2 I'm willing to gamble that

 

[clee1982]

try GMTO again...?

think the old quote is if gets to 12 then 150 euro cheaper, can find out more exact figure, but want to see if there are enough takers to start with...

I will do Mayfair 2

 

[clee1982]

Mayfair is the almond toe but not as aggressive as Hakwsbill right? If I can confirm fit probably ok, though in my selection I purposely chosed vintage leather (100 euro upcharge) are you for that?

 

[acapaca]

I'm definitely down for something in that calf.

 

[beargonefishing]

If we make it a boot in suede and gator, I'm in.

Antonio told me to take same size as chisel 2 and Mayfair. Check out the chukkas that use it. I'd be open to wholecut boot as well.

This is how gmto diverge in about 0.5 second I suppose...
