My brand new shoos - Anthony Cleverley
Have the elegance of bespoke, but still not a touch on Vass and the better handmades, none-the-less, one of thje world's finest goodyear welted shoos.
l love the old vintage orange brown colour and the styles of John's shoes are unique and a good sample of his 1950's ltalian heritage as a cobbler in the poor part if Italian villages.
The new bespoke:

l ended up ripping part of the shoo open and found that it wasn't handmade afterall. lt's blake-rapid construction. Had l known l would have never bought them. Never mind.
