I don't know anyone who used kelmans on line MTO. I would be interested myself to get some feedback on that. I don't own a pair of Kielmans, but form what i hear people say they are not comfortable. You go to Kielman for fancy exotic skins, antiquing, fashion forward styling. For fit an comfort you go to Januszkiewicz. I will, in some time, order shoes from Januszkiewicz to compare with Wielądek. I don't plan to order Kielmans. They cost 300% more than Wielądeks shoes, and 50% more than Januszkiewicz. My Kielman report will thus be incomplete. If you decide to order Kielmans, please let me know!

Congratulations...I'm always confused by the semi-bespoke ,MTO and all different classifications...

+1. Perhaps that is the solution. Are any makers, aside from Cleverley, offering "semi-bespoke" or "made to measure"? I understand that St. Crispin's will make certain minor adjustments to the stock lasts of their RTW shoes. Anyone else?

Did you post a photo? I have problems viewing it.

If those are pegged waist shoes as they appear, $300 is a steal.

Your question flashed a red light. I have to ask the cobbler.

Those are beautiful shoes.. Would you be willing to be an intermediary? Will pay of course.

You'll see rows of small "nails", they really are wooden pegs.
I agree that those look pegged, Goodyear is far from being the only way of making shoes

I can be a middle man. But as far as I know, Wielądek is booked for June, and closed for July. Drop me an E-mail at [email protected] and I'll contact you in August.

He is using peggs in some shoes, but I've specifically asked for Goodyear welted. I'm going to clear that with him firs thing Monday morning.

By the way, the shoes have couple of wearings, and wear great. The fit is close in the toes, so I have to keep my nails trimmed
