The Marco — Men's Cap-Toe Derby
Words from the Workshop
“The Marco is challenging because it has so many details that need to line up just right. I love this style in blue when the cap toe is perfectly proportioned with white contrast stitching.”

The style and fit are perfect. Comfortable right out of the box.
Excellent quality.
The first pair that I received was too big because I doubted their sizing, so I initiated the return process. The representative contacted me by email within a couple of days and helped me to choose the correct size based on what I had. She was very helpful. Return was painless and the new pair came in faster than the first, which fit great. I highly recommend this company for a quality shoe far above any department store/off-the-shelf brand; for those wishing to step their shoe game up. I will be purchasing a couple of other models/colors for a full complement.
Additionally, the size that I ended up with is identical to my Whites Smokejumper boots (9 4E), which is another built-to-order custom-sized boot. I assumed that Adelante shoes would run smaller, like most shoes, but they are true to size.
Great shoe and company. Good service.
Best shoes ever. Will order again
Absolutely beautiful shoes, extremely comfortable, I love the personal touch of the maker's name on the inside!
Love this shoe! I get all kind of compliments. They fit perfect. I will be buying more of these.
My husband loves these shoes.
Fit great. Look great. Craftsmanship was excellent. Thank you!
Really wonderful construction and they are made to last. Quite stylish as well. If I could change one things it would be the under sole material. It is too soft and when I walk across small rocks they embed in the material. Other than that they are pretty perfect shoes. Would order again even with the sole issue but would like to see that improved so I have my life long cobbler :wink:
I rarely have a shoe that feels this comfortable from day 1.
Excellent craftsmanship, perfect fit, incredible style.
A fantastic shoe!
Beautifully crafted with comfortable leather. No real break-in time needed.
Fit comfortably and felt great from the very first day.
I get favorable comments every time I wear these shoes. Number one question is where did I get them?
Needless to say I am very pleased.
The Valparaiso
We purchased the Marco in Caramel 10.5 EEEEE(Super Wide). They go with everything and look especially spectacular with my husband's navy moleskin pants. We have purchased wide shoes, and none of them are wide enough for my husband's feet. We've spent over $700 for a custom pair of boots (they had to call to ask whether it was ok to use extra leather). The Adelantes are INCREDIBLE quality for the price while knowing that the maker was paid a fair wage. He wore them two days in a row - without a break-in - for travel and an interview.
Even if you don't have the same wide-foot problem, the actual shoes are amazing. The leather is beautiful, and excellent quality. The whole experience is positive from beginning to end. My daughters were blown away that we knew who made the shoes. The packaging is earth-friendly. I could go on and on. I'm definitely having a pair of women's shoes made next. Thank you so much!
Great fit and look. And the service from Adelante has been excellent! Will buy from them again and I can recommend others to buy. Thanks!
These are fantastic. It is very difficult to find shoes that fit me, especially nice shoes. These fit perfectly, look great, and are exceptionally well made. Well worth it!
I bought a pair of Romero’s in 2019 and after a couple of years of wearing them around New England, they have aged beautifully. Great leathers and lovely construction. Two years down and looking forward to two decades.
Great craftsmanship and super high quality. Fit is true to description.
Special shout-out to Jorge for the personalized video showing my shoes being built in real time. This is an unusual level customer service interaction I’ve ever experienced before. My shoes hug my feet. They’re perfect.
They looks great and are extremely comfortable. Extra pair of alternate colored laces is a nice touch.
'True to Size' means how you measure on a Brannock Device. I ordered the same size as my other dress shoes but my Marcos were too big! After I re-sized at a retailer, I ordered true to the measurement and am glad.
When I opened the box and held these shoes, I immediately understood that these were the highest quality shoe I have owned. I am so grateful to be able to support the craftsmen who make this their trade. Well done!
This shoe fits perfectly and the style, color and desert design is excellent. Planning to buy another color.
Please make a captoe boot

My husband really likes his new shoes. They look stylish but they are also comfortable. We’ll be back for more.
These shoes are incredible and made with fantastic quality. I love wearing them and highly recommend them!
solid shoes
I’ve never had a shoe th at looks terrific, fits my unusual feet and is comfortable too! I can’t thank the craftspeople at Adela the enough.
Overall a very solid shoe that fits my size 15 EEE foot. The construction feels decent and the shoe looks good. My only complaint is that the shoe itself is very heavy compared to other similarly designed shoes I have.
Extremely well made, beautiful and comfortable. I receive numerous compliments every time I wear them.
I ordered the shoes in the storefront after trying on and measuring my feet to ensure the right sizing. They fit perfectly out of the box and are even more beautiful than expected!
I wore them the first time for a full day with just a slight rubbing on the heels. After a few more wears they already feel sufficiently broken in - it didn't take much.
The quality of the leather and craftsman ship is evident. They look sleek and classy, and I've received several compliments on them. Thanks to Adrian for his excellent work!
Love the shoes. Great fit and great looking. Have gotten many compliments.
Very happy with these shoes! Superb quality and craftsmanship!
