So received my pair today. I'll post more thoughts on them once I've had a chance to wear them properly. It's the Budapest 01 model on the 333 last, but I asked for all brogueing & gimping removed. Very pleased with the colour, they're a darker shade of mid brown than they appear in the photos.

Those derbies look like they'd fit my very wide feet.
I'd lose the antiquing and the snakeskin (?) Otherwise,
beautiful shoes.

This thread could do with more photos!

As promised an update from me on my first pair with Rozsnyai.

I had these made MTM, I think I first contacted them in January and received the complete shoes by the Summer. I went MTM as I have real difficulty finding shoes that fit, having narrow feet and ankles but also being unable to tolerate narrow toe boxes.

We went through two pairs of trial shoes prior to these, in both cases the trial shoes were much too tight in the toe box. The first pair in fact were completely unwearable, I couldn't put them on my feet for more than 5 minutes and was unable to walk normally in them.
The second pair was a better fit overall, but still much too tight in the toe box, particularly with regard to length of the toe box (heel to ball length was basically perfect). I was hitting the side/end of the shoes when walking.
The final pair arrived during the Summer and unfortunately while an improvement overall they were still issues with the toebox, particularly notable when walking full stride.
Sándor arranged for them to be collected and they went back to the workshop to be stretched, I was a little sceptical but figured I'd leave it to the experts. Happily it worked and I'm not having any issues now hitting the end/side when walking.
Overall, my tolerance for pressure on the toes is practically null though so unfortunately they're still a bit more snug than I'd really like. If I'd known my toe fitting preference was somewhat unusual I would have emphasised this requirement more in my original order. However I've only one pair of shoes that fits better, and generally struggle to get a reasonable fit with RTW.

In terms of customer service Sándor and Enikő have both been great to deal with and very quick to respond to emails.

I'm a little bummed that the toe issue isn't fully resolved, but given how well they fit elsewhere I reckon I'll order another pair from Rozsnyai in future on the same last but with additional modifications I.e. increases space at specific points of the toe box.

I saw these in the window 2 years ago when I was in Budapest but the store was closed. As luck would have it Rozsnyai is having a sale and they had a pair left in my size.Guess it was meant to be. Excellent workmanship and service. Free shipping delivered in 5 days. View attachment 1519220 View attachment 1519221


This pair is in no doubt inspired by the classic film The Leningrad Cowboys Go to America (1989)

My 5th pair from Rozsnyai, this time custom split toe monks in shark nubuck.

As always, Sandor was a pleasure to deal with and I enjoyed the process from sourcing of the hide, articulating the design of the shoes to receiving these beauties.

Another pair a while I’m still at it…

Seamless wholecuts with side lacing, the exact same pair they used for a competition that just happened to be in my size.

Snatched them in a heartbeat 😂

This journey to my first pair of MTM Rozsnyai shoes was long in the making. More than 10 years ago I visited Northampton with the intention of having personal lasts made at Springline and getting bespoke shoes made by someone over there (Chris Roberts). Long story short: the financial crisis happened, I got laid off and custom shoes were not a priority for a long while.
So when I decided I would like to do something with those lasts that had been made back then it was almost Brexit, mr. Roberts had increased his prices substantially to put it mildly. In the end I paid to get my lasts back and decided to use these to have Rozsnyai make MTMs, which in this case because of the personal lasts are more bespoke I guess.
Anyway, I got an e-mail from Sándor saying they are ready. Will take some pictures when they arrive.
Wholecuts in bracklen museum calf. I absolutely love how they came out, can't wait to try them. A matching belt was also made (not yet on the pictures.)

I own four pairs from Rozsnyai and they are great! The service quality is good and the product quality is superb for the price you are paying.
I ordered my fifth pair and it should be in the process of making. I can’t wait to see the pictures of the making process and definitely desperate for them to arrive into my hand.
