These are my first foray into the bespoke world of footwear, and I'm eager to try even more. Bespoke (or custom made clothing or footwear) scares a lot of people and usually has a monetary barrier, but hopefully as men continue to become educated and take pride in their appearance, this market/segment of the industry will continue to grow. Quality and options are the first thing that pop into my head when I hear "bespoke". Options like materials, shape, and even how you want to craft your suit or footwear make everything custom and one-of-a-kind. Then knowing that a human made and took pride in crafting the item justifies the (usually) above standard cost of a pair of shoes or tailored suit. As I continue to grow in my career, critique my personal style, and learn more about the things I love, I feel almost obligated to try and learn everything about what goes into crafting these amazing garments and footwear. Of course I'll take you along and share what I learn.
Thanks to Chay, and Alfred Sargent for making my thoughts a reality.

Keep those away from the red wine.
Those are nice shoes. Sleeker than usual for this site. Wouldn't it be, however, more proper to call them made-to-order rather than bespoke in order to distinguish from the highest level of custom (i.e., custom last > custom design > hand-made heavy construction) for which the b word is usually reserved? Just a thought.
Lyle- although these did not recieve the custom last production (which my future shoes will) these were developed by myself, materials chosen, and fitted to a sketch outline of my feet. So as far as the category of shoes, I consider them as close to bespoke as you can get. But yes, techinically speaking I guess they are not 100% bespoke. I'll let you know what future ones entail. Thanks for reading.
incredibly cool.
