These are my new creations for two customers. I just wanted to point your interest to the interesting fact, that even they are (almost) the same design, but:
- two different sewing type: left: goiser with spinning stitch, right: English welted
- two different last shape: left: classic Budapest, right: new "801" last from Koronya
- double sole - single sole
- different sole decorations (I just enclose a picture about the Budapest one)
Opinions about the 801 last are welcome! Very soon you can see a 'limited edition' shoe on it.. (it was a teaser

- I am still considering what I should put into it)

Cool side by side comparison. Thanks. That 801 last is very attractive IMO

the 801 is nice and it works well with the brogue.

Great post thank you!

The 801 looks to be inspired by Vass' U last.

I agree and I love it. It's almost a deadringer to the U last.

Yes similar, but if you look from the side - this is more "sharp".

Could we perhaps get an overhead shot of both shoes?

Nice. I like the medallion on the sleeker shoe.
