TLB MALLORCA - OFFICIAL AFFILIATE THREAD - Advice, sizing and reviews

[LJ1891]

The TLB sizing page says 28cm is 9.5 and 30.6 is 12.5.

Everyone seems to be telling me I'm wearing shoes too large but i can't quite get smaller ones to fit. Maybe shoes are just meant to be a lot more snug than I think.

My foot is 29.2cm and I fit comfortably into the Madison last size 11uk/12us…of course ymmv.

When you say you can’t get shoes to fit, what do you mean?

Yep the TLB size guide: https://www.tlbmallorca.com/pages/fitting-guide says that 29.2 should be 11 UK.

That means my 30.5 are 12.5 UK

They don't make 12.5

Hey! Justin,
You can already check that item here. Drop us a line in case you need anything else!

I just placed my second chukka boot (Artista 133) order! This time in black boxcalf.

I think I’m done with dress boots for life now, but if you ever introduced a work hide (like Horween CXL or a greasy kipp leather) and a slightly chunkier sole, I’d be tempted to replace my old RM Williams Gardener and Lachlan boots.

They do in fact make them my friend. You just have to do a custom order.

Great new website, but one major complaint, way too many pics of those sweet vegano cuoro in half or full brogue, problems and urges I didn't know I have, fml.

yea I know but then there's no way to return if they don't fit and I'm not near enough to a store to try them on. Once the price issue gets fixed I may order, but it's weird to have such a price issue and not mention it on the website.

Sure.

I posted pics of my Suede Artistas in suede on the Goya last (based on Church’s Ryder) above, these will be black boxcalf on the Picasso last (Based on C&J Tetbury).

Great to find someone making high quality boots in extra wide sizes!

Question for Mr. Toni and the @TLB Mallorca team: when sent for resoling, is to possible to relast an Artista shoe from Picasso to Van Gogh? Same size.

General question for the forum: what is your thought on what works better for a black captoe Oxford shoe, Picasso or Van Gogh?

Relasting to a different? Don't think it will turn out well with the stiffeners inside the toes.

Both work well imo. Both are sharp and clean. I had the Picasso in black wholecut, but was too small. I now have the Van Gogh in quarter brogue oxford.

Oh okay, I hope to get some size 12.5/13 shoes.
Do you have any advice for size?

For boots I'm size 12.5 - 13 Edward Green, size 13 Meermin,12.5 Loake boots (13 for loafers), 12.5 crockett & jones, 12.5 trickers. My feet measure around 30.5cm each.

I recently ordered size 13 loafers from Myrqvist and Morjas so I can tell you when they arrive how they fit.

Hey, following your comments we would recommend 12.5 UK size. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Dear @nevaeh

Unfortunately this is not an option we offer at the moment. The original shape of the shoe should remain the same, but let us know if there's something else I could help you with.

When will the pricing error be fixed? The price in Euros is still at the same 20%+ increase.

I have the price in Euros and I'm on chrome on Mac OS.

Can you be clear, what price should I be seeing on for example: https://www.tlbmallorca.com/products/mto-117 I see 525 euros.

In the past I saw pricing in 430 euro range? You can see it on waybackmachine here: https://web.archive.org/web/20230119194059/https://www.tlbmallorca.com/artista-customized-shoes

I don't understand what the price is supposed to be.
