I had to look her up - had not heard of her before. She obviously knows what she is doing!

Oh how I wish I could find a quality shoemaker in Atlanta.

Yes - one can order bespoke shoes from many places - but I want to have the experience of being close at hand to participate in the process.

Congratulations to you - I predict you will wear them for MANY years.

Details on the nice shoes (keep the jeans a secret)?

you dislike the lobbs but like this? wow.

The shoes are made from two alligators.  The pipping is kangaroo.  It took four fittings, 2 patterns, a try on shoe, and the last was altered three times.  The whole process took 8 months

FAIL. Proportions all wrong and book matching of hide also clashes.

They are Gravati for Wilkes Bashford. Poasted a while back in the WAYW Shoo/Boot thread, but I figured the x-post was necessary.

Very necessary. I love croco in loafers, the best thing.

Love or hate?

If love, what with and for when?

Love and would wear with pretty much everything but a suit.

Couple of pictures of my one pair of crocodile loafers by Peter Millar. Pics taken outside to try and get the true color of the shoes.
