opinions please :

i'm having this shoe made and like the style enough to consider a second in tan suede with lighter contrast stitching.



should I forego the gator detail at the laces
I must say that Suede is a great idea ... I never thought of that. But I'd suede but still with that small part close to the strings in crocodile

if I were to 'do' those, i'd whoop it out there and go blue

For me these are the most beautiful, really ... and in the week, work permitting, I'm going to test the shoe test. I'll show you the pictures.

you're going to be able to make those work for you Gianni, I have no doubt.

And while I was there I took even more pictures that I have yet to download. What do you think?
hi gianni, i think this model was designed a couple of years ago by riccardo for another dutch client, looking to improve, http://www.styleforum.net/t/251332/riccardo-bestetti-bespoke-projects/330_30#post_5032662. a bit of an acquired taste imo. but the leather looks very interesting. would love to see an update on this loafer! when will you be at riccardo's workshop again?

As beautiful as this is I can't help of think of it as the legs on a really ornate dining room table or something.

Hello Dear ... thank you for your kind comment. Tomorrow I will go to Bestetti to test my test of bespoke. So if I can and if I have it yet more photos of the photos of the coconut suede. So then I show you here in these pages.

And so the search goes on and on...and I keep discovering shoes that I like

Today I stumbled across the shark chukka





I like these alot but I think i'd go with a chiseled toe.

Thank you for your kind comment. I was by Richard yesterday and I took quite a few photos .... and I think I caught a glimpse of something truly unique that I show you just drain the photos. However, the evidence before it went great for my crooked feet =) In a few hours I'll show you everything.
