It is like paying for custom oil painting of "Dogs playing cards".

it's like having children. You plan, wait 9 months, and spend more then you imagined possible. Then think about doing it all over again!

The soles are gorgeous but the uppers look no different to standard EG Berkleys - is it the photos or do you notice the extra finishing to the uppers?

The samples at the EG shop in London look much finer in person than the non-top drawer shoes.

Also, let's not assume the long wait has anything to do with demand. I'm pretty sure the long wait at at least some of these clothing companies has to do with the appearance of exclusivity.

k.

a few weeks ago you asked for recommendations for bespoke makers and part of the fun is the customization i.e. personal measurements. i'm not talking about the initials on the bottom.

don't take offense. you bought a "factory shoe" with a bespoke price tag. horses for courses.

So Top Drawer doesn't take measurements? You just get a more refined shoe?

I think he really needed you to **** on his purchase, I'm sure he's grateful.

To OP: Great shoes.

To the peanut gallery: if you don't think TD is worth it, don't get it.

Was bleibt übrig, wenn ein Manta ausbrennt? Goldkettchen und eine heulende Friseuse.
