I am in the market to acquire a new pair of boots and oxfords or potentially whole cut shoes.

I have worked with Carmina quite extensively in the past with MTO and love the outcomes. But I want to explore another maker simply because I derive enjoyment out of the process of figuring out all of the details and want something different now.

So I am curious who your favorite MTO destination is. The most important factor for me is quality.

I am seeking MTO not bespoke specifically. I am excited to hear your input so I can discover a new shoemaker and begin to generate a compendium of MTO sources for other interested individuals.

Thank you all and I hope your 2019 is going fantastic.

Saint Crispin's, all day long.

Vast selection of leathers.
Plenty of nice handwork.
Consistency in terms of delivery.
Good communication.
Almost limitless options for customisation.
+Phillip tells you if your idea sucks.

Ibex. They're the ones I can afford for around $200. But, they still use full grain leather and handstitched Goodyear construction.

At either end of the cost spectrum but great service from both.

Other notable mentions which I have not personally purchased from are Edward Green and Enzo Bonafe.

Are there any other mentions that come to mind for high quality MTO Boots and shoes available online?
