I am a great fan of this shoe. I'm trying to get a group together to get Tom Park of Leather Soul Hawaii to make a run. If any of you are interested in joining, there is a thread on AAAC where you can indicate your willingness to be part of a group buy.

I can't get them for $150, but I can get them in my size. This should interest any spectator aficionado who is not a D width.

Why have you chosen G&G as your bespoke shoe maker...as of late?

I thought I had to look at myself in the mirror for wanting 4 different faux laced shoes...but 4 spectators is excessive

The Astaire is beautiful (but I prefer it in all black and with a hard square G&G last

The Martegani has a gorgeous soft squared last...good choice..but the large sole...just TOO BOUKOU

How did you find the Gravatis? I thought they were too voluptuous a spec to buy from Francos then killed myself when the Betis one were all sold out.
