Hello everyone,
I have rather wide feet.
I recently found a shoemaker and decide to make a few bespoke pairs.
I love whole-cut best so the first pair I tried was a whole-cut: the aforementioned shoemaker isn't very experienced in making nice whole-cuts, let's cross it off the list.
Monkstraps are nice, but the shoemaker sources his monk buckles from a cheap source the buckles are not very durable. I definitely can replace the buckles in the future but it may be troublesome as the shoemaker is very old now. While I like monks, monks are currently at low priority.
He makes beautiful loafers. I placed an order for a pair of loafers.
What other styles do you recommend? I'm thinking classic Oxfords and Wingtip brogue.
What details should I be concerned when placing my order? For example, my more experienced friend suggests Wingtip rather than plain toe (I love plain toe only after wholecut). What do you think when it comes to bespoke shoes for the wide feet?
Thank you very much
