I am in the northeast of China,not far from Beijing.300-400 dollars.For 400,I use the best part of a piece of calf to make the shoes.Will post more pictures later.

I like these, especially the cap toes and both pairs of wing tips. How much would a pair of light brown/ orange split toes cost in calf?

The upper doesm't fit the last, too far away of the "v" shape.
The design also off.

What are those narrow marks on the welt? It don't look like "handmade"

Who make the last? you make it yourself?

300-400 RMB? or US dollars?
