Looks like a great shoe, you should go for it.
I'll probably place my Hove order before the end of the month. The more i look at the Hove design, the more i am enamored by it. Even compared to the model it is mimicking (the EG Dover), it's lines are move compelling to my eyes. The 4 eyelet design and longer apron are just so elegant. It might be a contradiction to have it in hatch grain leather, but i think it tethers nicely on the line of dress and casual shoe. Will work nicely for me...

Beautiful model, beautiful workmanship, beautiful shape and perfect sewing ... I've been able to take this shoe Bestetti in my hand and I have to say that it is really very special!
Yeah...those Bestetti's norwegian split toes are gorgeous...
Having seen the price increases with G&G and having owned StC...I think I may go a new route and do Bestetti's Novecento semi-bespoke...probably looking at a balmoral and a chukka for my first orders. Just dont know what lasts/leather first.
If I did a Bestetti bespoke...that split toe would be a serious consideration. Very different from any other that I've seen...
The split toe is made on his almond toe last. And if you go Novecento, you can order the exact same shoe... The alligator facings will make them cost more than standard though, but you can always choose regular calf there.
I'm really glad I placed my MTO-order (Hove, Dg70, vintage oak, single Dainite through Sko-AB) before the price increase. I understand that they want to get a better flow in the factory and get rid of too much MTO:s, but it's a shame for people like me who need F-width. Like mentioned before, I hope that they will be keeping more models in F-widths as stock models. Love G&G, and there are still many models from them that I would like, but not to any cost.
I'd really like it if they expanded their RTW to more colors then I wouldn't have to explore these shoes as MTO's.
I will sign your petition for G widths in RTWYou can hope for more RTW F width shoes, but I can't imagine them making RTW in G width. I honestly do not know if I will be able to justify another GG MTO after this one, so it might be my last...
