These were MTM right? Hope they fit well and you get hooked enough for subsequent pairs.

Honestly, I don't know how they would be defined: I tried an available last and it looked and felt pretty good, so we decided to go for it with minor tweaks (at the heel).

Yours look handsome, I also love the colour composition with socks and trousers.

He has the two options, wing or cap toe, both very nice. I finally went for the cap toe. Not excluded I will get the other pattern too. I also opted for no medallion.

stunning model, love the wing on the toe and how it is so busy with all the broguing. THat black model has an extremely low instep, and all the sides of the shoe are also cut really low; it is a very unusual shoe.

I'll do.

No, I also have two other pairs from German makers.

One is this RTW plain toe Oxford by Korbinian Ludwig Hess (handmade in Italy).

Yes, made to measure on an already available last with small adjustments.
Shoe trees included, I pulled them out for the picture.
