Mistakes like a different sole...!?...perhaps an unexpected return to the master?
Is your highest priority fit, styling, or construction quality?
Construction is easy, if you spend for the best Italian RTW. Fit is harder if you're doing it by phone.
The English makers all come to NYC a few times a year. Also, Perry Ercolino does some excellent work, and he goes to NY and travels a bit around the rest of the East Coast. Either way, you may have to make one or two trips south or east to seal the deal. Initial measurements, and then probably a fitting for the first pair. After that, e-mail can be your friend.
All those options are very expensive, though-- if you want to get your feet wet (heh), you might almost do better financially to fly to Vienna, Budapest, or Warsaw and get a pair or two made there. If you don't break even on the first pair, you will certainly do so by the second or third.
Just received these from Polish maker Jan Kielman. Very impressed, obviously no japanese shoe but still beautiful. View attachment 933349 View attachment 933351 View attachment 933352
I'm in Upstate NY, does anyone have suggestions to a reputable shop?
