Made in Spain Footwear, including TLB Mallorca, Cobbler Union, Yanko, Norman Vilalta, etc

I ordered a pair of Velasquez split toe in the hatch grain dark brown version. It was in balance with a new pair of Meccariello but Antonio's delay are so damned long, I finally pulled the trigger with TLB. I'm still perplex about the lasts and will see if the shoes fulfill their promises.

What does it mean to have lasted insoles?

I wrote to Toni and he sent me full leather insoles, cut to match the insoles of the shoes, following the shape of the lasts. You can request a pair when placing your order.

They are both really good brands and I enjoy several pairs from both; but you get what you pay for. With TLB you will get a really well finished factory made shoe and with AM, you will get a more refined last, higher grade leathers and a lot of hand finished detail.

This handsome pair arrived from Spain .... very pleased. More to come!

Picasso 109 Semi Brogue Balmoral Oxfords in Museum Brown and Goya 111 Half Brogue Balmoral Oxfords in Museum Marrón Medio:

Velasquez in the dark brown hatch grain after a few days of wear. Impressive shoes for the price. Definitely not on the wide side, they fit great but a bit snug in my usual size (6UK) and it's a medium to low instep.

The customer service from Toni was great. There was a problem with the online order which caused a long delay of delivery. Toni offered me a pair of shoe trees to compensate. I didn't ask but expected such a gesture

These arrived today. Dark brown cordovan. It’s not the weather for serious shoes in London at the moment, so I may not get to debut them for a while!

They look fantastic, thanks for posting a pic. They are the first cordovan shoes I've had the pleasure of seeing in the flesh and I can't wait to get a pair.

Looks like 10.5UK. Main lasts (Alan, etc.) if you need more width at the arch and heel. You can also request an Artista model to be manufactured with a Main sole if tight arches and narrow heels don't work for you. Write to Toni at [email protected] and he'll guide you well I'm sure.
