No longer owned because it does not fit: These were my first pair of heritage boots. It took me a few months to realise I had sized down too much. I started to think twice about wearing them, so it's time to let go.

More about this item

My first pair of gyw boots. I came from the dress shoe scene. But just found boots a little more suitable for my lifestyle and wardrobe. Amazing Badalassi Carlo Minerva Smooth leather, the smell is just something else. And I'm a sucker for leather soles, they just feel supportive when you plant your foot on the ground. Unfortunately, I have a narrow foot with low arch, instep and foot volume, so I kind of downsized too much going with the 8D. After slight adjustment by forcing in slightly too large shoe trees, the fit is manageable now, but requires thin socks. I've since gone up half a size in the Leo Last for my other Grant Stone boot and they fit well now.
