In other Cleverley news, the firm has started working with Rolls Royce and Bentley in Beverly Hills to offer buyers of either car a specially designed driving slipper (below), which Cleverley will then monogram. I suppose if you’re spending that much on a car, what’s the addition of a pair of slippers?

I like the concept of ‘faux brogues’ on slimmer shoes. However, very much dislike the light coloured soles. Too flashy. (Need not necessarily be black. Med/dark brown would knock down the contrast.)

JC, that is the welt not the sole. These shoes are at the fitting stage and so have no sole yet.

Simon. Sure these will turn out well. I wonder if the imitation wingtip brogue is a bit “casual”/country for a black shoe. Maybe that is the intended effect. I look forwrad to seeing the finished article. Did you go for a “no rear seam” finish at the heel? J
Cleverley are without doubt outstanding cobblers. The shoe shown on your post however is too pointy; heading towards fashionable.
I seem to recall you work in an sector that favours that approach which is fortunate as East of St Paul’s, with out hitting the upper case, such a shoe would not wash.
I have a pair of the “imitation brogue” in the Anthony last. They are called the Churchill II, in the “flashier” lazy man style. These are a very comfortable and stylish pair of shoes. I think the perforating the leather rather than adding another layer does make the shoe look much slimer. I would recommend them.
