Proper leather shoes

agreed utterly ridiculous.

with Pifko

Thank goodness a list was made of the GOOD leather shoemakers, before the nasties showed up. Someone will be extolling the virtues of clogs next. Brilliant.

Paraclogs are where its at

I was more referring to the brogues that at least two shoemakers are selling for £3,000.oo!!
I kid you not.

Yeah THE John Lobb (not the Hermes owned ones) only make bespoke, quite a bit of time involved, but 3k? You do get your very own last made though!

That's where it's at.

i'm after a nice pair, who makes good ones?

Ace... Remind me of Cyril's boots in this pic... Geezer at the front with the plexi guitar...

not "dope" more like dopey

I may have to start spamming this thread with decent shoes, since its all going to hell in a handbasket at the moment.

John Cornforth makes a good shoe. A bloody good shoe.

^liking the black Derbys (bottom pic)

I may have to start spamming this thread .................

do it, that selection was glorious.

A 10-14 month waiting period between ordering and completion is likely due to work in progress.

Top ones look good to me- good choice Ashe!

BTW those brogue boots that I mentioned earlier in the thread- very comfy, but be aware that the 9 is very large.

Berlutis polished with champagne. Accept no substitute.

^^goth :)

These are what's missing from my wardrobe. I'd have nowhere to wear them too.
Even when I was doing conferences and wearing suits, I'd be overdressed and looking better than my clients in them.

All of the above :)

the cornforth pricing made me chuckle.

Prices quoted are for sizes up to and including the equivalent of UK size 10. For larger sizes a supplement of 5% of the basic price is added for each increase in size.

Tim Little is another star leather-turner.

I'd go for middle right, none of the rest. Top right with a gun to my head.

Something like the bottom right I gave my dad for Crimbo.

Top right are gorgeous.

Would go nicely with white tights.

lol

I didn't so went and purchased some. Took forever, but they're amazing. Had them a decade and when quizzed on the price by my mother I just smiled and wandered off. I did subsequently tell her, but only when she was sitting down.

How much? Over 500?

Indulge your inner faun.

these belong in the trainer thread but they're berluti and belong here. aligator uppers with rubber sole. eur2,400

@bodieanddoyle what colour are your berluti shoes?

split toe physio with resin sole. dark blotchy blue , love them

paraboot should be mentioned. well respected in france.
