IC: Carpe Diem S23 5 hole boot size 40 (fits US8-8.5)

[eckblk]

Just in from Hide-San:

Carpe Diem S23 size 40 5 hole boot-

These just arrived and I guess I did not do my HW: the instep is too low, I can barley get my foot in. Cobbler doesn't think he can stretch it enough and at this point I'm not sure what to do. Includes original box, tags and CD carrying bag.
Fits a US8-8.5/instep is low !!

I'm not sure what kind of leather this is; maybe washed calf? Color is brown w/ a chalk or powder-like coat on it.

Length 30cm
Width 11 cm

Paid 1410 usd or 107,000yen~
SOLD

What do you mean? Cobbler proposes that Altieri didn't stretch the leather accuarately?

[eckblk]

oops- grammatical error. My cobbler doesn't think he can stretch it enough.

[MASUGNEN]

But he liked the boot, as it is, what he saw? He did recognize it as supreme craftmanship, by an Italian master?

[eckblk]

Believe it or not; he said it was the the ugliest boot he'd ever seen. I replied by threatening his small children.

I brought my CDiem backzips to a cobbler in Japan
He said "these are expensive right?"
I replied "...yes"
His responded "I can't believe they'd spend so much time making such ugly boots"


Nice boots

[doldrums]

altieri stitched some kind of obscure old world code for "fuck you cobbler" into them or something because ive had the same experience with a few pairs.

Man that's so crazy. These aren't even distressed/styled all that out there versus some high end boots that you see running around.

Beautiful imo ;p
