Trees are made in Japan, then customized by Daizo.

What difference it makes? Except for esthetic reasons - their shape will not change so toes do not need any support, no?

Thanks for the feedback and agree it can't please everybody: it is the non consensual part of the shoes and a personal choice but the reason I posted here is mainly for people to discover this guy's work.

Agree on this and yes trees are smaller and narrower so toes are not pushed/forced by them.
Well, I could have bother him further asking for square toes but I truly believe they do their job so I am fine with them.
