Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread
May I ask why you need them to clarify the purchase price in USD? As a Japanese business I would expect they charge in Japanese Yen, and you may find the currency rates yourself. I sometimes get asked to quote stuff in USD myself, but running a Norwegian business I'd only ever be able to give...- Sutefan

Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread
I have to say I'd much rather get those Minezo shoes than some half assed Carmina-makeup. Give them a little time. As you say, there's holiday time and generally speaking, Japanese makers are not always great at communicating in English.- Sutefan

Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread
It doesn't change to my experience. I see the price has increased ever so slightly. Believe it was 400 000 ex vat before. Now it's 462 included. @dawei94 From my experience, the service and support is second to none, indeed.- Sutefan

Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread
YF price is really not high at all. Competitive price and distinctive style. There's an abundance of makers willing to offer good shoes for low prices in Japan. As they get more popular their prices will rise too. That's just the market.- Sutefan

Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread
Shoji has a steady flow of business and doesn't really focus much on marketing. Those that know find him. In my opinion, his shoes are all about the nice balance, and that is what he has focused on improving too. Really love the pairs I've seen him make for clients, as well as mine. Got two more...- Sutefan

Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy
I indeed think that's nitpicking, but it's fair to ask the question, sure. At what point to we stop appreciating the feats of a natural material? And at what point does the feats of a natural material become a fault? Higher end footwear like Edward Green, Saint Crispin's and others obviously...- Sutefan

I agree. Here's what EG themselves write about the matter. Lotsa nitpicking going on - for something that literally none would think of once the shoes are worn once.- Sutefan

First wear of the 303-lasted Chelsea. I really enjoy the shape and fit. HAF-sole is also nice, just takes more time to walk them soft. And referring to my previous post, that might take time 😂- Sutefan

I know we all buy quality shoes so that we can keep them for years and years with resoles. I haven't once had to resole a pair of EGs though. The larger collection, the less wear they'll all get 👌- Sutefan

Hand stitched models are long. At EG, but more so at Alden. EG are usually quite accurate on their estimates, but I've experienced a month or two delay before. QC is the biggest bummer, but rather have them discover the errors than myself.- Sutefan
