I think the following has been distinct in my bespoke shoe pairs:
1. Fiddle waist.
2. Slightly tapered (Cuban) heel.
3. A last that truly fits one's feet.
4. Quality of leather that soft yet durable.
5. Finishing flourishes like slight irregularities from handwork, quality sole treatments, unique heel treatments.
6. Quality trees that can be hollowed for travel weight.
Oh, and a quality felt shoe bag. I get mine from John Lobb St. James's.
