Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II

[VRaivio]

bengal-stripe: do you have the scoop on the usual specs of British private label footwear? Herring, for one, has mentioned that they use better leathers on their Loake-made pairs than what the factory usually goes for.

Those look amazing! Bespoke? How much did they set you back?

Yes, bespoke. Didn't get your second question, what do you mean?

2nd question was how much did they cost

 

[sdolina]

850 euro plus some upcharge for the hollow trees (can't remember now).

Excellent for handmade shoes. Congrats and wear in good health.

That's an amazing price for bespoke. Did you have any fittings, or just one visit for measurements? And how is the fit?

Got the parcel from Maftei, haven't tried it yet, but the first opinion is "wow"! Will make more pics later on.

Stunning.

I like the look of that leather a lot. It seems to have some texture to it.

These rival the St Crispin version for me. And at 850Euro, more affordable too.

Hi, can anyone tell me if these shoes are cordovan or not? I read through a bunch of information here and elsewhere. If the serial # is correct, then it is one of the Florsheim shell models (93605), but the number is blurred so it may be something else.

Any help would be appreciated. Hope this is the right thread to post it in! Thanks!!
