J. Fitzpatrick Tony II Oxfords

Mine just arrived in Australia. I was a bit nervous about the dark brown museum combined with often unreliable MD colours. However, it is stunning and the fit perfect. I find with JF the generous width is just right for my slightly wide feet, without being too wide or sloppy. These are becoming my Goldilocks shoe brand. Because these are a whole-cut, the option of a lasted shoe tree would have been ideal, like we got with Carmina.

My copper museums came today and these shoes are cooler than a polar bears toe nails! This is my second pair of JF through Massdrop and I must say it is a very underrated brand. Can we get the monk straps next?

If anyone reads this in a future drop, I want to say that the advice to get the 8UK was spot-on. The shoes fit perfectly and aren't tight in the toe box at all. The only issue is the dye job on my burgundy pair is bad: a 1.5 inch dark spot on the outside of the laces, a lighter shade around the heel, and dark streaks near the soles. I'm trying to see what Massdrop and I can do to resolve the problem.
