The ideal business and daytime dress shoe.

The handwork in this shoe, up to and including the hand-sewn sole, is a testament to the skill of this artisan and a compelling example of traditional shoemaking at its very finest. Overall this degree of hand work is rarely if ever seen today. The 1000 Euro ready-mades of Lobb and Green and Weston do not compare to this shoe. As seen by the contrasting hand-sewing of the sole to welt, this is 19th century hand craftsmanship, harkening to pre-Goodyear Welting. The overall appearance of this shoe is one of ultimate elegance. This is the last word in a business and daytime dress for the gentleman who’s has the good fortune to be this size.
