Bespoke shoes from Osamu Egewa - Japan

For the day I have sampled shoes and boots from Master Esamu Egewa  from Japan. Some of the shoes have a bit of a twist, splash and dash which I have never seen before. I would like to highlight the wing Balmoral Oxford in brown calf and brown suede, where the lacing is extra covered. Interesting indeed. The black calf and black suede Chukka with the tassel lacings. Another interesting and unique creation. Lastly the button Balmoral boot, nothing strange about it, rather the hide selection, which is a combination of calf and what looks like elephant hide (top part) then it is green(ish).

Well take a peak and judge for yourselves.

Roberto Ugolini - Balmorals or Galosh Oxfords

For the day I have picked up two samples of Balmoral (Galosh) Oxfords by Master Roberto Ugolini from Firenze (Italy). Both samples are two toned shoes. The one pair is a traditional Balmoral (Galosh) and the other a winged Balmoral. The two pairs are punched cap toe Oxfords, one with a rounded last, the other a soft chisel squared toe last. Both pairs are well executed and elegantly renditioned, two pairs of shoes, I would like to add to my footwear arsenal. Hope you all have a pleasant weekend.
