Thanks. I did realize this after reading your blog again. Most of the Japanese shoemakers actually make fully made shoes that the customers will try a few weeks to 1 month and I guess this is precisely the reason. But then again they cost almost 3X as much. I still find Kielman to be great value. As they say the last 10% is what makes it very expensive and I'm more than happy if we get 90%.
Decided to go ahead and try this out. Thanks for all the help - really appreciate it. Will post here once I get them, along with my humble assessment.
Pretty tight. I measured it too loose, so my shoes came out a bit big. Easily fixed with a thin insole though, and since the proportions were correct they fit great now. Do not expect a perfect fit with your first order though, it's very hard to get it just right first time with own taken measurements and no test shoes. For next order you can easily show pics and describe what needs to be changed.
