Unknown Last: 6.5B
eBay
Love at first sight when I saw it on ebay. I don't have any boots like this so I decided to buy it, on the other hand my job is not hard work so I think it will be just enough for my daily do at the coffee shop.
My size is from 5E-5.5E( depends on different last and brand). This pair is 6.5B, plus 1 size. I have another vintage pair with size 6.5 and fit well with this so i decided to buy this one. Another reason is because I like the last of vintage boots, it look fit and slimmer.
My husband helped me order it on ebay. The time waiting for the delivery was so nervous and anxious. And when I received it was exactly what I imagined.
I’m a full time solo barista, baker and brewer at my coffeeshop. Standing and walking a lot. I wear it all day, 2-3 days a week.
This pair in shape quickly, but the leather feels a bit stiff at first. The skin on the ankle, when worn for a while, will create beautiful folds. The color and wrinkles better with age.
The ball is misplaced, so wearing it for a long time is uncomfortable. On the other hand, the sole is quite slippery. The unknown last gives a slim look. (One thing I like about the last of this vintage pair ) I think it will be suitable for formal occasions.
Finishing is good, it’s just not exactly fit my size( the ball is misplace so it not comfortable). The seams stitch are small and well finished. The strap designed is fit the ankle so the shape of this pair after break in is very beautiful
The sole wears out quite quickly and easily slips
A good design and well finishing. Look well even before and after break in. I like the last of this pair. Besides the sole is a bit slippery and the ball is a bit narrow( but still give a good overall look and don’t see ball stick out). I really like the design of this pair. The leather at the ball stretches after a time of use it so it is more comfortable than at the beginning. I will spend more time wearing this pair to have a more accurate comparison and evaluation.
