You should consider Silvano Lattanzi...

you are in Italy; aren't Lattanzi cheaper there?

I think Lattanzi is better than both of them. Of course, we are only talking about RTW...

I much prefer John Lobb bespoke shoes over Lattanzi bespoke. (seen in photos.)

Yes please speak about RTW i'm not ready yet for a bespoke I have totally no idea how much is a Lattanzi RTW I believe as JLs prices? Aren't my pics all RTW ? The JL Norway is discontinued RTW or bespoke? Sorry too many questions So I need to travel around Italy for a Lattanzi Luigi

Where are you located in Italy?

Roma, Milano, Napoli, they all have Lattanzi.

Yes, all of your pictures are RTW. JL Norway is RTW.

I do know the bespoke Lattanzi are about 3000 Euro. Not too sure about RTW, though.

Another RTW makers you should consider are: Peron & Peron (Bologna, Italy). Paolo Scafora (Napoli, Italy).

Both do 100% Handmade shoes.

So thats sound great for me I leave an hour driving from Naples
Hopefully they will have sale
Napoli is the first Italian city starting with sales
I was checking on the Lattanzi's website love few of them
But it doesn't direct me in to shops in Naples

Santoni Fritz or The Fritz LE

JL Portman

of the three i do prefer santoni FAM version of the FRITZ
(there is an actual shoe called the Fritz, it is not to the Nordstrom 950 series FAM standards and have a total different look, feel, AND smell to them. less substantial)
the actual FAM model does not have a name but a number like 7258 or something like that.
i prefer the actual FAM over the JLs, not that the JLs are bad; they are exellent, but they are of a english look.
the 7258? is actually very decadent and very italianate and will attract attention.
i have had many people talking to me not knowingly glance at my feet every few seconds when i wear them.

I am Italian American, with the love of Italian clothing and shoes.

I suggest you get Paolo Scafora, if you are going to Napoli.

Some Photos of Paolo Scafora shoes...
