I was thinking about getting croc penny loafers for a while. I once had lunch with Will from ASW and he wore these


View attachment 1568908



I really like how Will looked in them, so had it in my mind to order a pair one day. RTW croc doesn't appeal very much to me -- the designs often dont' look great or the skins don't look very good. So I thought about getting a pair bespoke (the above were made by Cleverley).

I asked a few friends of mine who own bespoke croc penny loafers what they think of their shoes. One said that he doesn't wear his very much because he finds them to be very loud. Another just recently received his and said he likes them, but is not sure if the style would suit me. I'm still somewhat on the fence about it. In the meantime, I'm just getting a pair of suede tassel loafers while I mull.

Outside of penny loafers, I don't care for croc shoes.

These actually look amazing, especially since it's not a very aggressive last shape but more conservative. Very cool, I'll keep these in mind if I ever have too much money.

Yeah, it's Masayuki Kaneko who makes those films, a quite progressive guy who knows how to promote himself, which is exactly what new Japanese makers need to be good at.

It's a real shame to hear the continued disappointment from people who order made-to-measure shoes I understand you perfectly.

Handwelted boots
preparing boots for hand sewing......

I hope you're not telling those those two represent one pair for the same person???

 

[clee1982]

that would be quite some size variation on one guy (though could be the angle?)

I think the right one is just closer to the camera...
