Sealed with a "Kiss" - Operation Paprika

[Degendorff]

I just checked the brogueing on my Vass and have to admit: it is far away from being perfect - whatever that means...

 

[Pezzaturra]

I find "jumping" brogueing and sloppy sole edges complementary to the crooked heel pads nailed down by a blind child with his "pet-rock".
These are charming shoes in a "Ma-a-a look at the poo-poo I made", sorta way.

I have a question, hope someone may honestly tell me.
Is the "lasted tree" copied from the original last, or they are made by the treemaker after the shoe was made. I just can't understand those "rumples" on the vamp.

I've already tried asking this question and got nowhere!

I think Operation Paprika shoes are really charming and I respect the way they're made but as soon as you say anything negative - all of the toys go flying out of the pram.

Hmm... after reading this post I'm considering starting "Operation Kielbasa" with my cobbler who made me this: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=180998

I would rename it something other than Operation Kielbasa, this being styleforum and all, some of the members might expect you to deliver something else.

I think that a subtle name for it would be Operation Lightbulb.

Presumably, it would take more than one person.

I would pay extra if it could be arranged so that the Polish Women's Volleyball team delivered the Operation Lightbulb shoes.

Just offering marketing ideas.

You should try Bergamot...it's in the old EVOO space across from Dali.

Much better than EVOO, which I couldn't stand.
