JM Weston appreciation thread

and no offense to the insoles, I use them same in a pair of shoes that are
slightly too big to prevent heel slipping

Anyone know if JM Weston's shoe trees are lasted for their 180 loafer?

Yes, it is actually one of their first last. Last number is 041.
Cheers.

I bought a pair of Demi and a pair of 180 (wearing them today) in France long ago. I got with the shoes 2 different trees for each different model. The trees on my 180 loafers fit very well but are not lasted. Bear in mind that they handle 7 different widths so it is very complicated to have RTW lasted trees. Maybe things have changed?.

Nice looking loafers, brother

 

[Zapasman]

Thanks man, and really comfortable..

Actually, the shoe trees shown on the pics are made on the 022 last which is the one the Demi chasse are made on. The shoe trees lasted for the 180 should be 041M for you. There are two types of Demi chasse, the 598 and the 696. Also, the shaping of the demi chasse last has been slightly modified a couple of years so if you purchase a recent one you should get a new pair of lasted trees, too !

^Yeah, thanks lucci for remind me I had to exchange the shoe trees in my pairs, jajajaja. I owe you a chilled beer.

Left tree for the Demi.

In my eyes the quintessential Weston...and one of my favourite Norwegians, for wich I have a soft spot anyway.

When I saw three pairs of Weston shoes on that auction site in my big wide size, I couldn't resist. So please accept my membership in the JMW club.

Fit is great and something about the style appeals to me, probably my French heritage.
