Very interesting. I've always wondered why go for a one piece/whole cut design for loafers; the slip on mouth will be under a lot of stress. Personally I would prefer either a penny strap or have side elastic bands.

They are going overseas to get the needed support

Can I bother you with a heel pic when you get a moment?

I have been wondering if the Sinatra was seamless or not, as I am also interested in a pair...

Back side of the Sinatra..

guys, I bought 5 pair of G&G's during the Barneys sale, love them but I have a problem on most of them; while they fit I must have a weird shaped foot in that the right top of the right shoe digs into my nerve just below the ankle bone. It is incredibly painful, I have bought a single heal insole which has fixed the problem. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and also if there is a more elegant solution to this? I'm afraid if I buy some G&G insoles the shoe would be too tight.

I guess you just have to tie the shoelaces looser.

I have a similar problem with the nerve too. Double monk with the elastic band seem to be just perfect.

You know this could be an issue of balance...if your foot tends to roll outward, for instance, or if the shoe itself tends to roll inward. It could also be simply a matter of too high a lateral topline.

My Sinatras (TG73) on their maiden voyage. Still have not mastered the art of the Spoo pic; such is life I suppose. Thanks to Nick at Bespoke England for his wonderful service.

Sinatras are such nice shoes. They really show how nice that last is IMO.
