+1, I've never once thought that when I saw a split-toe. Those shoes look good.

I like them.

And bravo to Fritzl. I have the feeling he did this as a favor for his shoemaker friend Kalman with little or no profit for himself.

Only you could think of penis, p0rn, and Kiss in the same thread?

Glad you like them- but let's not ever call AE blobby again

right you are. the shoemaker is mr. gyula kiss. here is part of the story

mr. kalman berta is the lastmaker for mr. kiss and many other european makers in austria, germany, italy etc. he delivers the trees for "operation paprika" and he is very helpful. it's a pleasure to deal with him. my first encounter with him must be around 1999, since this time he is my only source for trees.

I'll take some photos tomorrow.

i call it spirit and passion.

thanks again for being a part of it

Anyway, you know who's gonna take almost any of the remaining pairs in 44B.

Love the trees!

Can we see some fit pics? I can't decide if I like the last or not, but I'll bet they look great with a tweed suit.

i'm very sceptical towards people with 44B. especially, if they are from the big apple... (inside joke, pun intended)

Fit pics are to come soon. I'll take a few tomorrow during a meetup with other Papriquisti.

I'm not an insider, I guess. Or I'm dumb.
