The auction says $2,000 new bespoke shoes. Fine shoes but it strikes me as a little odd that someone would have bespoke shoes made and never worn. Does anyone know if these are RTW's? Also, does Lobb make these?

Neither heel or inside marking area look like JL. Maybe Grenson?

This seller is a complete liar -- both about the origin of goods and the retail price of them. This is something that this seller is very consistent in doing.

They appear to be just Sutor or Santoni for Borrelli RTW monkstraps.
Does Borrelli even do MTO/MTM/semi bespoke shoes like Kiton?

It was Sutor last year, Santoni this year, then back to Sutor next year for Borrelli the last I heard.
And Sutor was just bought out by ILH so hopefully they don't decline in quality.

Looks Santoni (ish) inspired Borrelli to me.

I think it was Sutor two years ago. Either way it is Peluso this year not Santoni.
