TimeOut

I've recently become interested in handmade shoes. After reading and researching online, I decided on this prestigious Neapolitan brand. I hope you find it interesting. Happy Easter/weekend. ...  

I have two pairs in the same style from Edward Green (in leather and suede) and enjoy articles / photos of fine shoes. Thank you for showing these beauties.

I also bought a Carmina oxford wholecut black. Right now I’m waiting for a Caulaincourt loafers. I’ll post pics. Best.

the wholecut is probably too smart for me. The Bronx Napoleon loafer from Caulaincourt look good, I haven’t found a leather loafer that fits my feet so am having some made by Carreducker.

I wish you luck with those bespoke. Post pics 😀😀. Promotional photo ...  

Great subject for watch collectors! Most of my shoes were bought in Oxford UK from a well-know shoe-shop in Turl Street, which regretfully closed a few years ago, were all hand-made. You may well regret having shoes where the toecap's centre is stitched o... 

What is interesting about your shoes is the stitched vertical join in the toecap and no apparent stitched vertical seam above the heal, the very opposite of most leather shoes. A finely made leather shoe will flex longitudinally and transversally, especia... 

The next days I will travel to Madrid and I hope to try some Crockett Jones boots. For other british brands I think I will have to travel to the islands… and I will ask for your advice 😀😀.

of the classic "Norweger" split toe. I really like them.

has good articles and one relevant to the split toe derby: https://shoegazing.com/2023/03/26/guide-types-of-apron-front-and-split-toe-seams/

I also love the color chosen! Thank you for sharing them here with us, cheers, Filip

I'm definitely interested! Tell us more. Did you go to Napoli? How did everything work?

My big concern was ordering the wrong size. MTO cannot be returned. Therefore I went for a RTW. You can return most of the RTW as long as you order the stock color (or some determined patinas), no metal toe tips… All the details are in their website, whic... 

I have to have metal toe tips, and I would really not like to ship back and forth after testing the shoe - and then having tips installed. Good to know. Maybe I ought to get myself to Napoli.

A few years ago I was on vacation in Naples and there are very beautiful and interesting things to see. The city itself, Capri island, Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii ruins, Amalfi coast…

months my only artisan shoes were a Church’s. The problem is that, as far as I know, many of the brands you’ve mentioned don’t have retailers in Spain. Given custom taxes, since brexit, I don’t buy directly from UK. The next days I’ll travel to Madrid and... 

resist when I see a pair of lovely C&J boots. Honestly, I dont have enough knowledge/experience to know what country makes better shoes.
