135 Artista

Tremendous fit and ease of breaking in

I’ve purchased the 135 Artista through TLBs custom program and received it in about 3 weeks, which was quicker than expected. The fit was excellent given these were custom and had the easiest breaking in period of any GYW shoes I’ve owned, more impressive given I’ve customized it to be a storm welted shoe. Craftsmanship of TLB shoes from the Artista line are quite similar to Carminas but they’re a fair deal more affordable and as such are excellent value. Am planning another custom order from TLB since due to my wide feet I don’t have many options for shoes and TLB offers both excellent quality shoes at an extremely fair price and I think it is difficult to recommend other options at the $400 to $500 price range.

Stunning

Beautiful craftsmanship. I got this on the Picasso as a MTO. Gorgeous leather and fills the spot in my less formal shoes. Got with the City sole. Have 5 pairs from TLB now. Unbeatable quality, customability and value. Toni modified the shoe for a bit of extra toe box height (MTO option only). The man is a bonafide legend!

perfect materials, size and beautiful

i hv been struggling about what size to choose, coz i always have width problem with my right feet, uk8 was my usual dress shoe size that runs a bit long due to the compensation for width, ordered 7.5g this time which perfectly solve the problem.
