The Bespoke Shoes Thread

A single monk strap

He's made me a couple of loafers, and while the fit is there they just don't work for me in terms of being able to go a whole day in loafers - I have a rigid flat feet and large accessory naviculars, and I need more support than a loafer can offer.

Refreshing to hear you speak of the accessory naviculars, since I just recently learned that only a small percentage of people have them. For me certain shoes and chelsea boots with a seam hitting that bone are unwearable, but not sure what your experience is like

He was easily able to accommodate it in terms that kind of irritation, but mine is especially pronounced (type 3) and I need a shoe to shift my foot over to avoid pain (i.e. I have to wear shoes even inside my house as standing barefoot is painful) and it seems like a loafer cant quite do that enough for all day.

Hey guys,

I don’t know where to post this, but has anybody ever heard of this vendor?

Apparently, the owner was a pattern maker and cutter at John Lobb, and has since launched his own brand of RTW shoes which are made in the UK. Any idea who the maker of the shoes are?

I need another pair of black shoes (I just have a pair of wholecuts at the moment). I find it hard to be interesting black shoes, or to think of black shoes as anything other than wholecuts or cap toe oxfords, so does anybody have any inspiration for what I should ask for I would welcome it.

I'd do a black full brogue or longwing.
Derby or oxford as you prefer.

Don't know about your issue, but you could possibly benefit from the added support provided by a boot.

For example one like this Oxford boot by Leonard Kahcke.

A seldom seen colour, a medium grey can be very attractive in my eyes.

A lovely model by Koji Endo Bottier.

The juxtaposition of the curved and straight lines in the leather panels and the stitching in the eyestays is really nicely done and great from a design standpoint.
