punched burgundy oxford looks great, MTO?


Just to clarify the Punched Cap Oxford in burgundy is actually second from the right, not the far right one.

The far right one is a sample that they made and is not in the production line.

Are they selling actual shoes in NY right now? Would be great if I could snag a pair of lighter color tassels without paying $40 for shipping.

So, after about what seems like 2 months total of receiving my first pair, returning to Meermin, and just today picking up the new pair, I can say I am pretty happy seeing how the latter fits my feet. I am a Hiro size UK 8.

I do not see anything wrong with the pair i.e. cosmetic flaws. My big toe and pinky toe are not pinching. Fits snug but not tight, so, I imagine they will stretch out just enough upon multiple wears.

Question, what shoe trees did you guys find best? I inserted some old cedar shoe trees I picked up from random shops and it did not fit the last that well. Appreciate any suggestions.

Will give these about 2 weeks wear (rotating in between) before deciding whether I want to go MTO, or another classic pair. The Hiro shape I find quite nice. The next narrower last, Olfe, I may need to size up 2 from my usual UK 7.5,
I purchased the Meermin ones. I have to say that they fill out the shoe very well!

I had a chance to meet Pepe and Luisa (I believe). Pepe is a truly genuine, nice man

It was great to try on different lasts and see some of the great shoes in person. Picked up something for me and the missus, I may grab another pair tomorrow, when I head to the trunk show.

I grabbed these

And may grab these, they are great looking, in person.
