Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

[Byron Perez]

Lol. I figured.

Yes, I just left a question there. Not sure though if they will answer my query on Church's and Loake since they don't carry either.

...

Good to hear! Enjoy!
The Unipair thread might be a better place to ask.

Thought this might interest some of the gents in Japan: a leather shoe bag by Herz. I am a fan of Herz stuff. Not super refined high-end stuff but for more rustic and simple designs they use good leather and everything is hand-made.

these toes are massive!

I hope to see them in person next week. That big toe may actually look good in person

Herr Hayafuji designed that last while he was working for M. Dimitri Gomez @ C&J Paris. Hence the name `Paris last`

Whole cut oxford with imitation cap and brogues

This would be my take

Would the volumous toe allow for a shorter shoe? As it allows our true toes fill up the front of the shoes?
