No need to be so rude to the guy.

I do think some of the lasts have a rather bulbous toe.

I will be in Shanghai & Ningbo August 16th. If you are willing to meet me in either city, I will be the guinea pig and have a pair of shoes made.

PM me or post to the forum and let me know.

Compare these to the shoes that Cliff makes for a mere hundred dollars or so more and you might begin to see the basis of my criticism.

Who's Cliff? Is there a thread on this fellow? I searched but only found a few scattered references.

Not to play devil advocate or anything but...

I'm sure picture quality has nothing to do with this...considering, we are judging the work by picture alone.
