@@JGStone the whole shoe is like $6k and the shoe in this video is made from “second grade leather” as the guy said. It’s essentially perfectly fine leather that’s not 100% perfect. They’re whole brand is about making the PERFECT shoe so it makes sense they won’t use it. And obviously for that price they have the budget to do the whole process of making a scrap shoe prototype before making the real shoe

As the science/understanding of podiatry has grown over time, I wondered if our current understandings (toe splay, heel-to-toe drop, pronation, etc.) would filter down into traditional shoe making considerations and cause a rethink of traditional shoe designs.

Hey Kirby! Once again, a great video. Would you consider making a video comparing the shoe creasing patterns of your shoes that are bespoke and ready to wear as well as shoe that is slightly too big/too small. I think it would make for a really informative video as well as highlighting the major advantage of bespoke. A picture comparison of the above, like in Daniel Wegen shoe video would be really good.

Good video, a bit theatrical in parts obviously, I think it's worth highlighting that bespoke shoes are nothing like bespoke suits : You can get a bespoke suit as a one off (special occasion etc) and it'll be fabulous - whereas bespoke shoes are, in my view, an *alternative* to even high end ready made shoes - the first pair may well be a disappointment as the fit adjusts (no guarantees !) however it'll be worth it - you'll have less pairs taking up space and amazing foot-ware 2:1 or 2.5:1 price is a decent proxy for price vs high end RTW (eg Edward Green etc) Also it can take 6 mths plus for delivery end to end - so plan ahead !

Never had a custom pair of dress shoes but i do have a custom pair of boots. The process of measuring isn't as complex, you just take the measurement of the ball, instep, heel and the calf. Also mine probably don't cost as nearly as much as these. I would have to guess 2k+ for the fully bespoke models where as i paid $700 and the fit on them is 90-95% perfect.

A question I've always wondered about - when the shoe is brand new, i.e. the first wear, is it beneficial to tie it really tight, so it most conforms to the foot during that initial 2mm stretch, or is it better to be a bit loose to minimize how much that initial stretch is?

It looks like he should have a platform for the customer to be on during the fitting that is about 4' off the floor so he doesn't have to do the fittings kneeling & laying on the floor. It would make the process much more dignified for the shoemaker. If the platform was 6'x20' it would allow adequate room for a chair as well as room for the customer to walk around to get a feeling of the shoe. It would also be large enough for two or three people to be fitted at the same time. Even with modern technology there is not a better way to examine the way a shoe is fitting than to cut it up & have the customer put it on again.
