Have been AWOL from the forum for the last month, so just catching up on this.  Looks like an awesome experience @Giles & @Madame Buttonfly - look forward to seeing the finished article in September…they will be done by then, right?!

Great documentary thank you for sharing. Amazing boots congratulation! When it comes to details and
craftsmanship the Japanese are second to none.

There is still a great tradition making bespoke shoes and boots by hand in vienna as well. As I won't have the chance visiting Japan maybe I am going to ask one of them wether they can make a boot like this  ;D…

After Giles visit I've been following White Kloud and Goto-san on FB and IG and by the gods he makes some incredible footwear. Very excited to see what he's putting together for G.

^agreed 100%. I was just thinking earlier today, how could I feasibly get a trip to Japan passed my wife to get out there for some foot measurements…
