Hi guys. I hope you enjoy the summer. We sourced some black Tärnsjö grain and are running an Enzo Bonafé jumper boot as GMTO this month. I hope you like it. I photoshopped a brown one just to picture it.

Some recent great MTOs in cordovan, shark and croc combos...

Any chance the skoak team is willing to do an Enzo loafer style 645 or 2263 on the 363MOD last in Loden reverse kudu on leather soles & 360 welt for a more casual look as GMTO for next month?

this is tempting. Which one do you think is more casual? I've got dress loafers covered

We will mostly do more sturdy styles the coming months and come back to loafers towards the end of the year so that they arrive when the loafer season is back. But I will try to run something like the one you asked for. I just need to browse the archive to see anything similar that we might have photos of.

Im honestly open to either, I’ve pretty much sold off my entire loafer rotation, so I’ll rebuilding. My current loafer rotation is Alden color8 shell LHS & Grant stone bourbon loafers. So my loafer rotation is real thin.

I feel like there’s a good handful people that wear loafers year round, myself included, but I’m sure there will be plenty of interest since almost no maker offers a rtw loden suede loafer.

Folks in temperate climates tend to wear loafers year round.

I don't only because I love wearing boots so much. Loafers are all summer long though

I love boots too, but if I'm in a hurry, it's loafers.

Löf & Tung Cole in brown suede, second wear, and first time on the playground with the kid. Already dirty! Good.

Used to have these in utah calf. The cobbler stretched the ball area on those for me, but that stubborn leather resumed its shape not long after. Had to let them go. Loved those boots though, so now I got these in half a size up, and in suede. A slight pinch on my right pinky after hours of wear, but I'm confident it'll go away as the suede molds itself. "Bang for the buck" is an inflated expression, but rings so true with Löf & Tung. Great boots!

Thanks a lot @DestinedToFester
That is a perfect outfit for some playground battle with the current weather up here. Then there is two of us who do not see the necessity to go full-on gore-tex trekking armor before building a sand castle =)

New RTW boots from Enzo Bonafé is now online. Hope you like it.

A question for those of you who have experience with both Löf & Tung's S last and T last.

How do both lasts compare to one another?
Is the S wider or narrower in the toe box than the T?
Does the S have a higher or lower instep than the T?
Does the S have a wider or narrower heel than the T?

For your reference: I own a pair of Kingsleys on the T last.
They fit me decently well, but for eventual future orders I wouldn't mind a bit more width in the toebox, a slightly lower instep and a narrower heel.
