Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

[clee1982]

I mean it does look great, but $400 or possibly more, hard pass, or I'm going to go to china have it copied in quantity...

These are the ones I selected for the shoes. $80 bucks I believe it was. As mentioned, they are lasted to the Santari last.

Here is my most recent make-up with Santari and Skomaker Dagestad.

Since Atsushi's studio pictures look infinitely better than mines, I took the liberty of using his. Soles are a phone pic.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with how these came out. The pattern, the subtle gimping, and medallion were perfectly executed as I requested. The fit, after adjustments were made to the instep, width, and there was something else which I can't recall, is spot on. I would say the fit is amongst the best MTM I have used.

Due to my very successful results, I would definitely recommend you give Santari a try. Stefan from Shoes of Stefan (formerly of Skomaker Dagestad) was a pleasure to work with and was integral to having these come out as beautifully.

Simply beautiful. Very well done. Bravo.

Simply beautiful. Very well done. Bravo.

Thank you kindly ??. We came up with something that would appease my sartorial eye. For the price paid, the execution was remarkable. As I mentioned previously, an exceptional value for a Japanese made shoe.

Definitely a beautiful pair of shoes. Are those MTO or Bespoke? Spec.details?

 

[thesartorialistbanker]

They are MTO Ebony in blue calf leather and black patina. I changed the medallion, added steel toe caps and my three letter initials pegged with brass nails on the bevelled waist.

Beat me to it, I was thinking that. ??
