Received this masterpiece from Fritzl and absolutely happy nowadays - I've found a new love!
B.S....that Scheer post off of Centipede could have easily been made today by Fosters, Cleverley or G&G given its gorgeous shape....I'm surprised I missed this one off of Centipede's site. The look is what I thought was classic English...but it appears you have given me insight as to what the Austrian's were once capable of making to compete with the English

Unfortunately, I don't have accss to my camera's memory where I am currently but my new Kiss Norwegers are superb. The fit is outstanding and unlike any shoe I've worn so far. Additionally, the last is not at all gunboat-y, au contraire: Comparing them with my most elegant shoes (by Münchener Schuhwerkstätten) I was surprised how sleek and narrow Matser Kiss's pice of art looked.
personal meet up with a fellow sf'er for the "fitting" procedure. looking forward to it
the definition of bespoke has discussed around the forum ad nauseum.
the process Fritzl discribed above is i think in many cases the general way to make MTM shoes. Here in HK all of the shoe makers follow a simular process, perhaps the only difference is once the have modify the last to your measurements then they will give you a cloth fitting shoe to check on the fit.
while holding up a private trunk show in vienna a few days ago, a friend of mine mentioned, that he owns a pair Mr. Kiss made for him in 1990.
i finally received them last week and i am glad to say. they are fantastic. imo, it overrules, that "custom made" shoes are only for one person.
The sales assistant Andy pointed out to me that Cleverley was selling off a few bespoke and semi-bespoke shoes that had either not been picked up by clients or were ex-display. In the case of the bespoke shoes, that meant a reduction in price from £2000-£2500 to £300-£500.
