Wenatchee - Dark Sapphire Suede

Such a lovely shoe. No issues with the construction. The shape is very nice but they are a bit long and maybe the outer edge is somewhat undynamic, making them look cylindrical from above, however the shape is really pretty in the mirror. Just a notion in my head.
Other problems I have are with the lacing. First, sort of a non-issue because I can change the lace config, the laces are hard to open up and makes it a bit annoying to get my foot in. Shoe horns help with this. I’ll change the lace config at some point.
The other issue is that the laces / eyelets close all the way up, really a straight lace. No v-shape in the laces for me. While my feet are actually 10.5 wide, I wear 11.5 in standard widths. Maybe this is why the eyelets come all the way together. If there was a bit less room in the instep area / how the laces come together, it would make for a more secure fit as I could tighten the shoes more. Perhaps this isn’t an issue with those who have feet that are actually 11.5. I can still walk in them fine with no discomfort, they just feel somewhat loose up top because I can’t tighten them more.

There isn’t a better shoe at anywhere near this price, period. Justin is a master of the craft and knows every single thing there is to know, about men’s shoes. The customer service is even better than the quality of the shoe, if possible.
I am thrilled with everything I have bought here and recommend without reservation.

Absolutely fantastic shoe, fits amazing, very comfortable, and the suede is great. Wish the blue was a little brighter, but other than that it's fantastic.
