This is the second prototype for the RTW line. Still the same last: 224 (practically the only one I’ve been working on for a while). There are small differences between this and the wholecut that I’ve already posted: no bevelled waist (but narrow), clean color sole, and all the rest is the same. I believe these two options will be the style choices for the Made to Order line.
This is yet another elegant design from your workshop (I’ve been following your blog). The toebox’s overall shape (its taper on the top especially) is particularly pleasing. I see that the welt line disappears near the rear quarter when over the heel. This really enhances the design’s slim footprint. As an enthusiast of traditional shoes, I admire and congratulate your fine work (especially when I’m comparing it with John Lobb Paris and Edward Green)!
Thank you very much Sir! I appreciate your connoisseur opinion!
