If you do a special order it will run ~$450, make sure you request wheeling detail on the welt as it is no longer standard.
They look good in that blue.

For me, it is the perfect shoe for 90% of all occasions.
Very nice Moo. I think my resistance to Cordovan has pretty much evaporated. Just shoot me if I start liking tasselled loafers though
It's called "Tobacco Chamois". They'd be great with tweed! Maybe even a whole donegal suit.Originally Posted by Parker
Lovely (and the Dover's).

Nice - lovely colour.
Here are some pictures of the shoes which Cravate Noire was kind enough to photograph in process. No complaints on the fit and these are my second pair. Some of the finishing may be a bit "rustic" for some, but I think it gives the shoes a certain amount of character.Originally Posted by mth
I really like the finishing.

These look very sleek for a derby. Does the heel shape have any value beyond the aesthetic?

Thanks for the nice comments. The shoes I posted above are from Roberto Ugolini in Florence. If you look closely at Cravate Noire's original picture, you can see the shoe is fitted with a size 42 last, which is about right.Originally Posted by mth
Any reason why he used a predefined last, that confuses me a bit?
All the other lasts werent sized or anything if IIRC.
So my apologies go to ThinkDerm here

Mine does not have a name. How old are yours?Originally Posted by A Guy from Shanghai
They were second-hand off eBay, so I have no idea. And oops, they're actually made for Gordon Scott (of Bond Street), not Gordon Rush.

That's what's known as a Thomas heel. It is supposed to prevent pronation--walking the shoe to the inside (medial side). It doesn't always have that severe a "corner" on the lateral side. That seems a bit unstable to me but I could be wrong.
