Excuse the double post, but i had another question: what colours of cordovan look good on a norweger with natural soles/stiching? I've seen whiskey and cigar that both looked good -what about dark brown or antique cognac? Really liking the norweger lately.

Here is a pic of the antiq cordo Norwegers I sold a few weeks ago. Not a natural sole, but you get the idea. The best shade for Norwegers IMHO.

Sure. I'll post one tomorrow.

Yeah that was my other choice.

Now i just have to narrow down the last/welt etc. Might try for F.

Bordeaux cordovan in P2 last

Bordeaux calf in F last

goyserer welt is very suitable though it depends on your personal purpose of the shoe.

Thanks for the teaser.
I still have not received them due to the f*cking Russian post.

Is that an F last double monk? If so, please post pics... I can only find U last double monks but prefer the fit of F last.

Is the P2 a bit more forgiving/wider in the forefoot than the F last?

I had my heart set on an F-last oxford but have heard that it might not be the best last for my foot (wide forefoot, narrow heel).

FWIW, I have a narrow heel myself and find that the F last hugs quite nicely, better than the 888, 337 or 8000.

Is there anyone who gets same sizes on both F and U lasts or do most people go half a size down on F last?
