Thanks! Yeah, I think I like the shape of this FW14 boot the best. Assuming they fit, I am going to have to figure out the look to match them with. I typically wear Alden/Viberg/Tricker's which are all very different from a1923, but I've been dying for something not in the CM or Workwear category. I've been lusting over the a1923 dual zips and Guidi back zips for a few years now.
I tried to get some Guidi 988s, but the sizing is too tough to figure out. I think I need a 47 just to be able to fit width-wise. I was about to do a custom order through H. Lorenzo but it was taking forever to get questions answered via email. Plus, I wasn't excited about paying full retail for a final sale custom order.
For Guidi, i would ask Holger at hide-m to do the order he has a big stock and probably will get you what you need.
Re non cm from Alden/Viberg/Tricker to a1923 might be a bit of an extreme jump IMO. if i were you i'd look to MA+ back-zips or cDiem backzip (s21m) / sidezip (s40m). The extreme distressing on a1923 is not for the faint of heart, i've cycled through 5-6 dual zips and sold my favorite pair at the end they just never looked quite right to me, of course different strokes for different folks so YMMV and i hope it does. The a1923 you picked up is closest to the ones i sold (culatta fw14 version)
If you want cDiem reach out to LucaLucaroni via grailed or pm me for his personal contact info, i dont want to post that publicly.
