On the welt: Makes it look much better luxurious. No wheeling makes a shoo look cheap. lt's just another step cut out of the shoemaking process. Once a company starts cutting steps it will all go down hill from there. What is next?...fiber board insole?...rubber welting? Give it time and the...- The Shooman

Talking about unusual leathers, my shoemaker the other day was telling me about `unborn calf'. lf a pregnant mother dies they still use the leather of the unborn calf. lt is really soft like goat leather and strong.- The Shooman

Corfam looks completely different from shell to my eye if the pair has been worn at least once because the wear marks are radically different from calf or corfam.. l wish you had the chance to play too, it would have been interesting to see what you opinion would have been. That is very...- The Shooman

l have never ever seen any shell look like that online in the last 8 years of posting on forums. l know shell v's calf very very well, and if l were wrong on this l would be extremely surprised. l could be wrong, but my ability to pick shell from grain corrected calf has been flawless so far.- The Shooman

l can understand how you feel with square toe shoes, but when you really have time to look at the G&G square toe last designs/shapes of the high and mighty Tony Gaziano in the flesh, you really start to appreciate just how elegant and special these shapes really are. Most square shapes on shoos...- The Shooman

Wow amazing stuff! l've seen similar constructions but never like that before. Really fine sole stitching and a double wood pegged waist despite the waist being sewn on one side. l wonder where they were made.- The Shooman
