Hi,
I found a shoemaker in Europe which makes shoes I like, cost is ok, but to high to order gadgets. So before I go there there´s a thing I´d like to know:
I would like to buy a standard Oxford or Derby for a start. But I´m really interested in getting a nice balmoral boot. Since I have to pay for the bespoke last I´d like to know if those shoes can be made on the same last or if for a boot I´d need another one? How about Loafers?
Plus (since I work in asia) If I bring a bespoke shoe with lasted trees to a shoemaker there (i.e. zees in HK) there, can they copy it in terms of making a shoe which fits the same? Or is it too hard and they will make one which looks the same but fits different?
cheers
