I just got back from Paris where I collected my first pair of bespoke shoes. Some of you may remember my Corthay thread some month back of when I had my measure taken. The result you see below. My girlfriend and I spent a couple of hours at the shop with Pierre Corthay talking about his craft. He really is an extraordinary (though very French) guy. I will write a full account tomorrow and post some more pictures I am sure some would like to see. 
Some of you might be interested to hear that I will offer two pairs of Corthay shoes on eBay. One of them is a pair of graphite Arcas I bought too small (size 11 US) and hence never wore. The other one I managed to source in Paris, amazingly is an unworn pair of Corthay bespoke classic black box-calf Oxfords aproximatly size 9 US. If anyone is interested in either pair, let me know or check my auctions. For lovers of fine shoe rarities I also received a mint, bespoke pair of Henry Maxwell tassel loafers in dark brown and an identical bespoke pair in medium brown by John Lobb Paris.

to choose from?
but those are very very extraordinary shoes. I love the Corthay shape! Congratulations!
