I think I can safely post this without causing confusion and it might help members considering this make-up.

This is a comparison of snuff (left) with polo (right). I have the left (five eyelet chukka from the last GMTO I was part of) and so the semi-brogue in the polo suede (right) will provide nice variety. I guess polos isn't darker, but more saturated.

I think we've hit six paid. Thanks everyone for taking part. With changes in pricing structure coming, perhaps, it's good to get this GMTO in. I'm going to think about at least one more
spring model.

Still encouraging people to sign on to this one.

Just found the GMTO-shoe on the Skoak-page, but knew an accompanying SF-thread had to be there as well. Count me in.

And to make sure I'm ordering the right size;

I have the following pairs:
Parajumper boot, Oscar last size 6.5
Uetam loafer (80228) in size 7
balmoral, Simpson last (80091), also in size 7

What size should I order the rain last? The same as the Oscar? A half size down compared to my shoes on the Simpson last?

If you look in the Carmina thread, JS01 did a comparison on Simpson and Rain.

Rain in -0.5 is nearly the same as Simpson in 0.0. Simpson is a hair longer in fact but Rain is marginally larger everywhere else.

So a 7 Simpson and a 6.5 Rain fit similar. With extra heel width, waist width, and instep room to the Rain.

Thankyou for getting back to me and letting all us know


This GMTO closed August 8 and Carmina usualy has a 3-4 month lead time so you cant expect these to arrive anytime soon. We're most likely looking at end of November.
