The color is a bit darker in person-- as I wrote to Ron, the pics do not do the shoes justice. I think if I use neutral polish they will darken just enough to be perfect, although I actually like the lighter color a lot.

I bought these from Ron Rider from the forum who is the US Rep for Martegani (I believe). I am not sure what they go for regularly, but I think it around 400.

Hey man, you need to check the buying and selling forum. The seller has been selling a lot of these shoes here recently.

Since CTguy was so generous in sharing his new Martegani's, I thought I should do the same.


Wiggles for Franco's in Dark Brown Scotch Grain


Arno in Tan

Both are 10s and I find the fit of the 7Y last (Arno) to be perfect, though Ron suggests going up a 1/2 size on this last. But I'm really not quite a 10... more like 9.75.
