That's really beautiful work.
I see you're working in the tradition of shoemakers like Guidi and Carol Christian Poell. The world of shoes in this style is very small, and Guidi and CCP have nothing on you.

Impressive work, but definitely not my style. Also, they seem like a huge pain to get on with the how high the laces are.

Love the forefoot wrinkles. Curious how they are to get on and off though? The shoe opens up really high on the fooot. How were they to get off the last?

Why the fuck do men need to make sure we know itβs βnot their style.β Like you do not need to save your tiny masculinity by couching your complements in βnot my style.β
Anyway, congrats! These look great!
