Why is it a gimmick? Is it a gimmick when other artisans do the same thing?

Well - it is true, we (or at least: me) make the seamless wholecut a totally different way, but it is still a beautiful shoe and a very interesting solution. Congratulation collagues!

Neat idea, but I don't see the practical or aesthetic advantage.

Neat idea if the shoe actually looked good.

Inspiration?

IMO the Jermyn is a better example of the 1 piece wrap construction concept.

"Honey-glazed" is special order with a modest up-charge.

It might be more to your liking but I don't think it's a "better example" of the concept - much simpler and not as illustrative of the concept as the 2009.
