Cool shoes

I see your sole, and raise you a last! Our lasts are custom made, so doing this sole shouldn't be a problem.

Kind regards,

Ok, I NEED a pair of those..........

Does that mean each customer has their own custom last, or just for each style? I would think having your own last would be in the thousands of dollar shoes.

Ever try to get vintage lsts, or is it easier to just make your own.

Edward Green Colonials, from a ten year old catalog.

love the ones on the left and right (esp the monk strap pair). Loafers ain't my thing, so the middle ones don't float my boat. I'd love w pair of specs with the toecap treatment on those monk strap shoes.

I'd love a pair of specs with the toecap treatment on those monk strap shoes.

And I'd love to add these to my line of shoes... sounds like a good combination to me!

As for lasts, I assume my cobbler modifies existing lasts for each customer instead of producing a new last from scratch each time, but the process is entirely "custom for each customer".

Kind regards,
Magnoli

Lot's of honkies wore spades too! My grandfather for one. I know a fellow with a couple dozen of deadstock pairs, but they are all sizes five to seven.

Spade soles on old J&M Hand Mades:

Slight spade on a pair of vintage Nettletons:

To my understanding the spade shape is really more a matter of the sole than the shoe last itself, thus it shouldn't be as difficult to create.
