Thanks man. The toe seam is indeed hidden which is different from the 633S which is a hand sewn moc toe. If you're referring to the black hatch grain model from a few pages back that is the same as mine with the hidden toe seam.
Sorry I should have included the picture
Your pair looks like these to my eye: https://www.styleforum.net/threads/....257353/page-509#lg=attachment1386124&slide=0
And I was curious if the hidden seam was a personal preference over no seam. It would seem if you wanted no seam you'd forgo it as opposed to opting for hidden? Just curious

makes me wonder ... as much as i appreciate the art and craftsmanship of shoemaking. As each foot is so different, why haven't any shoemaker that offers personal last utilise technology like 3D modelling to obtain the exact measurement of a client's foot?
also on the other hand, wouldn't the pattern of the shoe also changes if its made out of someone's personal last. Wouldn't this give rise to a slightly different toe shape or length etc?...
A good fit isn't a surface fit. IOW, you might be able to make a shoe to a plaster cast with 3D modeling technology but even if the plaster cast is of the foot in question, the final shoe almost invariably fall short of a good fit.
At the most basic, a shoemaker takes into consideration retained water, fat, temper,skeletal and ligamental structure and the muscular rigidity and flexibility of the actual foot, every time he wraps the tape measure.
I do not believe that any 3D technology can even come close. Various bright eyed, eager and apparently next-step-in-the-evolution-of-man intellects have been trying for the last 30-40 years and none of have been able to pull it off even with big money behind them.
Yes.

Yes.
A few notes on my St. Crispin's fitting experiences in case they'll help anyone going through the process. .... But had I done one more trial shoe at a cost of 150 euro and a few weeks time, I probably wouldn't need to do this.
