Hahaha, it is not me, He is Mr. Masaru Okuyama.

Emptym, you live in San Franscisco, and many of your students are Asian. You shouldn't have this kind of problem.

Not all Asians look the same!

I'm actually pretty good at telling... Check my post again, A. I didn't ask if "you" were featured but if "yours" were featured -- your shoes, that is. There's a pair of wholecuts in the video that look just like yours. Plus, don't forget, I'm half Asian myself, as you saw irl. More evidence in some recent pics.

Wonderful shoes! How much do Masaru Okuyama charge in HK, if you don't mind me asking.

emptym,

hahaha, sorry, my fault. Now you know how poor my english is.

Actually I overlook the "yours."
The pair is not mine. That pair of shoes are his "winning" shoes.
I don't have that much money to order a pair, although I would love to.

LukCha, If Zee's can do a wholecut like that, I would love to order few pairs, however, they couldn't.

Are you going to keep "sticking" them or wear them sometime before they go bad or grow a seam or two?

God DAMN. How do you even wear shoes like this? Too beautiful. I'd be tempted to display them in a glass case in my foyer (how's that for iGent nerditry? LOL.)

if you keep your standards high, you get used to it.

shoes cannot be too beautiful, imo.

your iGent nerdity is top-class with this statement.

Thanks. Bespoke loafers are often a crapshoot but I think the fit on these is surprisingly good.
