These are definitely more awesome than a devil's threesome.

dunno what's the more strange comparison?

the reason why the heel on a custom-/handmade shoe is "nicer" than on a machine made.

That is called peening the heel. The leather is dampened and compressed with the peen (end opposite the face); this process helps to meld the different layers of leather in the heel to eliminate any gaps/spaces and also increases the heel's water resistance.

exactly. thanks for giving a full description for the... ...probably "noobs".

ps: i'm not familiar with the english terms, for not being my mother tongue.

I like the bottoming work and I think that stingray can be a beautiful shoe. What I would really like is to see a close-up shot of the stitching along the topline and facing.

where's the rear seam???

No rear seam as such...it's off to the medial side. See first post and the way the pattern is cut.

Those loafers are the same?

Can you post a close-up of this seam from the stingray shoes? Or again, along the topline and facings? Please.

thanks.

Amazing.
