I created the shoe and was measured but used a last already in existence, so I guess technically, no.

The person who purchased the shoes got his money back after taking them to court and I've heard nothing about it since, but these photos are recent so I assume there was an explanation from Marcel? If I recall correctly he refused to provide one back in spring.

I think I can talk about it (I couldn't do it, because I wasn't officially involved in this business, and I was asked not to), but this will be the last time: that guy NEVER was on court, he asked an arbitrator for deciding this case. I am really sorry about this case, I would give his money back immediately, but it wasn't my decision. As I mentioned - this case was Mr. X and Mr. Rosenbaum. This is the last time I was talking about it public. Thanks for understanding.

^ Those gators look nice, but it bothers me so much when that skin is cut on the bias.

I don't know can it be classified as bespoke.
I order a pair of last by my personal measurments, instructed the lastmaker what style I wanted, make a trial shoe for fitting by myself, ammended the design.
Then I ask the shoemaker to do another trial shoe for me (becuse of the amendment), then sew an upper for me, I give him 5 pics and instructed him to change "here and here", then he draw up the pattern, and I amended it again before sewing.
Then he hand lasted and hand welted the shoe for me.
I am going to sew the sole by myself next month. (I want the upper "set" on the last for a month)
Will it be a pair of bespoke shoe?

I will take few pics of them later if I have time.

In Hong Kong, you can try many thing out on a very reasonable price, I love this city!

Who cares - it sure sounds more awesome than ordering a pair of bespoke shoes!

Looking forward to PIX!

Trial pair for an upcoming project. The finished shoe will have be a captoe oxford in fox suede. The second try-on will be in about a week, the final shoe should be ready before christmas.

Are you using your Shell Cordovan hides to make anything?

I am afraid that I like these Cleverley shoes, but am having difficulty posting the images from Permanent Style (great series). J: http://permanentstyle.blogspot.com/2....html#comments
