I like the design of the first pair very much. That and the tan plain-toe Derby on your website.

Could you comment on the design and construction for the welt and the sole?

Yes, I can, moreover I can show you:

This method called "English sewn". Similar to goodyear, but with hand (only).

If these shoes have been made on individual customers' lasts, my comment is pointless. Otherwise, I'd very much like to see a top-down shot of the second pair (lovely patination), in part because the shape of the first (though doubtless well-made) pair doesn't please me: too rounded, perhaps. That of the third pair looks nicer to me.

The shoes look excellent to me. Perhaps the first shoe is based on a wider fitting last. I have to take C&J's G and Tricker's 7 fittings so it would be useful to know if Koronya can supply me with RTW. Koronya's website is impressive and I like the shoe trees and boxes.

They all seem to be very well made and having seen your work on u tube i think they are indeed . The lasts and colouring of the two out of the three models you have posted are not my cup of tea ..I wouldn't look at them more then once if they were at a shop window .. The second pair seems interesting but I would too like to see it from another angle . Also , any info on the prices ? Can I find such information on the web site ?

The shape of that second pair is indeed more appealling to my eyes. Thanks for showing the shoes to us.
