It was MTM with Hiro in my case, so I left it to his judgment, and I'm happy I did.If you have commissioned the shoes (or are about to) leave that decision to after the fitting. Presuming it is fully bespoke, there will be a personal last made to your specifications and measurements. Seeing your feet, the shoe/last maker will decide on, what he feels, is the right shape for your feet, which might well be different from the sample shoe.
If you decide during the fitting that you want the toe somehow different, altering that is no problem whatsoever.
I did bespoke with Nicholas, and after seeing the fitting shoes he actually thought less rounded toes might be good for me (probably influenced by the pair of loafers I wore, which I told him I quite like the shape of). Still waiting for the finished shoes but I'm trusting his sense. That's why I chose these makers in the first place.
