Very interesting. I have one pair from Anthony Delos and one from Foster : clearly not the same league in terms of fitting.


so which league is better?

As I have said in the topic dedicated to Delos, he is largely above Foster. And not only in terms of fitting. But in terms of fitting, Delos makes a glove, Foster makes a shoe which adds no value compared to RTW. I can even say that, to my feet, the Simpson last from Carmina or the 7000 from Lobb offer better fittings than my pair of Foster.

That's a pretty dramatic statement. Fosters are held in high regard and at GBP2200 bespoke they should be.

Cleverley and Foster both make shoes for Will, and he's also had them made by G&G if I remember correctly (those might have been MTO...not quite sure.)
