but IMHO comfort and fit should come first. The reason I like bespoke shoes is comfort.Originally Posted by laufer

If (that's a big "if") the bespoke shoes go right (even then, the first pair won't fit "perfectly").
If they go wrong, they can be an expensive shipwreck!
P.S. I believe there is an error in the quote. "a fit that lasts" should be "a last that fits".

lol
but you see what i mean about the HAF it dont look great to me, i'd much prefer the double with a little bit more refinement
you're kidding, right?Originally Posted by fritzl
I am afraid not. Some Style Forum members find even John Lobb (London) blobby.
Bengal-stripe
you are right, indeed it takes time for the bespoke to get it right.

what do they know, seriously?
80% of the shoes displayed on their site are rather gaudy. that's a fact.
also most of the bashers haven't come close to any workshop in the world, let alone budapest or vienna.
or how would you explain e.g. the "thousands" size and colour comparing threads...

You are preaching to the choir Fritzl. Anyways while EG shoes indeed are beautiful, they are overpriced in my opinion. If somebody is really hell bent on getting english shoes I think Alfred Sargent is better value.
