Custom Shoe Guinea Pigs Needed

[jamespowers]

Marc doesn't own a scanner, which means that he's been scanning stuff at a copy store down the street. It ain't free, either. Does anyone care to compensate poor ol' Marc?

Send me the ads and I will scan them for free.


Regards,

J

They look sharp! Question is, how comfortable are they? Whoever buys the first pair, please let us know!

I'm still looking for some guinea pigs, so I've added some official specials on my site based on Marc's scans:

https://host385.ipowerweb.com/~indyprop/osCommerce/catalog/specials.php

These specials will remain up until someone takes the offer, except for the Adventure Boots which will only be on sale for one week.

The same basic price scheme applies for other one-off custom shoes, so e-mail me if you are looking for a specific style.

Kind regards,
Magnoli

I've officially added the snapjacks to my site: https://host385.ipowerweb.com/~indyprop/osCommerce/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=65

Flat-top, I'm sure you'll enjoy seeing your new shoes from a few different angles. These will be on their way to you in a few days.

Kind regards,

I think you might have a guinea pig here for the field boots - very nice!

Edit: Is the lacing on the foot of the field boots water (or at least mud) tight?

Doc,

I'd say we could make them relatively "mud tight" by having the tongue piece behind the laces. If you're interested in getting these, you'll get the listed price of $276.25 (which 15% off the regular price of $325). Once we get yours made, the price will go back up to $325. S/h is included in the price. Feel free to PM or e-mail me with questions on specifics.

Kind regards,
Indy

Magnoli I think the Bromfield would be better without the white throat Spectators aswell

 

[Indy Magnoli]

That's not a problem, as these are all bespoke shoes, they can be customized any way you like.

Kind regards,
Magnoli

After a pair of gents 20s/30s dress boots

Anyone have some reference photos for these, as I'm keen to get a pair made. Looking at either a classic vintage brown or black, laced up the ankle (I like the support a good boot gives), lined with glove leather, leather sole, low quarter. Deliberating about whether to have an Oxford plain toe cap, or leave it plain (?). (Don't want any brogue brocade dressing it).
Likes of Churches, Grensons, Trickers, Loakes..etc, are charging silly bucks for these, and they are a modern boot essentially.

Any good photos/images would be appreciated. And advice on the styling too. I'd be wearing them with a suit or a good pair of moleskin pants.

Just loving this thread, and Indy...(those riding boots/Field boots, are the best!!! love them!!!!!).

Regards, Paddy.

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Here are some great boot designs that Marc posted a while back from a 1938 Florsheim catalog:

We can do any of these designs or modify them to suit your particular taste.

Kind regards,
Indy

So,

You can make a pair of black captoe boots?
Thats really what ive been waiting for, for a very long time.
I've settled with aldens, but thats the type ive been looking for.
Whats the starting cost?
Adam

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Sure thing! Normally these would cost $275, but as a guinea pig I could do them for you for only $225 (shipping included). E-mail or PM me if you're interested and we can discuss the details.

Kind regards,
Magnoli

I'm intrigued

I've just read Capt. Krunch's review of the boots and how they compare to his Alden. http://thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=9190 . Other than his raves, I have a couple of other questions:

1. Krunch speaks higly of the quality of leather. I assume this is calfskin and not corrected grain, no?

2. What kind of welted construction do these shoes have?

3. What are the materials used in the midsole? In there a lined insole?

4. Is the lining of the shoe calfskin, pigskin, a combination, or something else?

Anything else you could tell me about the construction and quality of these shoes would be much appreciated.
