Happy New Year to all you guys from me and @Leaves !!
What shoes are you planning to wear for the big celebration?

We are looking forward to 2023!

Didn’t make a showing for NYE, but my EB Wholecuts will come out for my next black tie appearance later this month.

16 months in godawful Gothenburg shite weather with these S last Gessis in kudu now. Worn two to three days every week except during the few hottest summer weeks. I was skeptical about the comfort insole at first, but it has molded itself perfectly over time, while providing some extra warmth during the colder seasons. The kudu leather proved to be very flexible, and has stretched significantly, and these being PTBs probably contributed to that as well. It's a quality I appreciate, especially considering my horrific big toe joints demanding space. But the S last instep being generous to begin with meant I had to put in heel grips AND tongue pads after a while. Most likely not a problem for fellas with normal feet though. The width of the S last felt a bit too tight initially, but the leather quickly adapted. The sensation of the shoes being a wee bit too long also passed as they slowly molded themselves. Certainly the L&T last that fits me best. The S Gessi, what a shoe!

Now, I'm planning an MTO for the L&T Scott derby, and I'm sort of on the fence regarding the uppers. Dark country grain or smooth espresso calf? I''d prefer the uppers not to stretch quite as much as the kudu has. Cordovan would obviously be the best in that aspect, and I haven't ruled that out definitely, but times are tough economically. Any good advise here?

Hey, it's in this weather that made us strong and had to use our famous wit to survive the dreadful weather. Also, cool to see a shoe twin here in the city. Will keep an eye out for you out there!

@DestinedToFester Thanks for sharing! And dope combo with the denim and coat👌
Some archive photos for inspiration. Dark brown Utah. Espresso calf. Armagnac Cordovan.

True! And likewise! Can't imagine there are too many chestnut kudu plain toes walking our streets. If I spot another pair, it's a dead giveaway, hah!

Thanks! A tough choice ahead of me, they're all stunners. Might have to order yet another pair later on.

I somehow missed this GMTO, but there's still 3 more days, so I plan to jump on the red EB semi-brogues.
Is it possible to order them with a topy sole protector and a metal toe taps? And what would be the sizing recommendation? I wear my L&T in S, T and L last in size 8, but they are pretty snug. Some other brands I have in 7.5 and 8.5, so what would be the best sizing for EB 946? UK 8?

I would recommend you to stick with your usual size. They are more generous around the instep compared to L&T. No problem to add topy soles and toe plates. Just send me an email at [email protected] when your order is placed.

Oh dang, didn't know we could get minor changes to GMTO. Will keep this in mind for future buys.
Out of curiosity, would heel shape be an option for adjustment? I assume no, but hey, can't get it if you don't ask.

Might depend on the modification. But minor ones like feather at ball, adding a topy or toe plates are usually no problem.
