Another big one, but this time from WM1978 Beijing. Has about 8 rows of stitching.

Below is still nothing to a photo l used to have with a 8 step welt shoe (a massive welt that look like steps that were multiple stitched) l used to have, but that monster shoe got lost in the hard drive crash years ago.

A pair of my Branchini, but only 5 rows of stitching. :confused: Wish mine had 8 rows of stitching.

I can only repeat my comment above: impressive work, but this aesthetics is truely not for me.

Curiously, it comes to mind your post about heavy metal music, as something exaggerated and over the top.
