I have both very conservative and some more adventurous shoes and it is all the fault of T4Phage and Riccardo! When we brainstorm about what we want the craziest ideas come up and sometimes I and T4 end up ordering them. T4 has amazing Iguana shoes and Riccardo mentioned they would be awesome in a gladiator model. So in the end we settled on his maverick model in Iguana/Suede. Usually I order one conservative pair and then something more bold. For my next pair I was thinking a plain old black oxford.

I don't think I know you...or at least not by "ThinkDerm". But if you are who I suspect you are, nothing has changed since last we spoke except I'm a little older and have a few more customers who were ahead of you in process or out the door.

I suspect that a "plain old black oxford" by Bestetti will end up being anything but! Can't wait to see that project unfold.

Those are a sight to behold. I really enjoy the fact that the welt is in full sight at the forefoot. Some feel that hiding the sole edge is more "elegant", but, when done well, the shape of the shoe is curvy and beautiful. I wanna pair!

Riccardo shoes are crazy. His ready to wear line is also very nice. I was planning to go to Vigevano to see him work but I don't have time.
