Well-crafted Singaporean shoes made in Vietnam with exceptional sole work and detailed decorative logo stamp. Strong construction quality, though the rounded toe last (described as M&M-like) may not appeal to all aesthetic preferences.
Strength
- Tight, well-executed craftsmanship
- Incredible sole work with closed channel and burnishing
- Beautiful dyed fiddleback waist (ridge detail found on bespoke shoes)
- Intricate decorative logo stamp
- High quality in-person inspection confirms excellence
Weakness
- Rounded toe last resembles M&Ms or childproof bumpers
- Fiddleback waist likely created via shortcut method rather than true bespoke technique
- Aesthetic preference issue with oversized toe
