So I'm in Hong Kong for school this year and decided to check out MacMillan of Rathdown's suggestion regarding bespoke shoes. I've found a place that makes custom shoes and actually fits my student budget! They apparently don't make a last for each customer but they do get good reviews HERE. They are called Zee's Leatherware & Shoes and they also have a facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/ZeesLeatherCo

I'm looking to get a pair of black cap toe oxfords and am wondering what everyone has to say about the options available for this type of shoes. I'd be wearing them for dressy occasions with either a kilt or a suit, so I'm looking for something traditional but not necessarily conservative. The designs that have been attracting my eye are quite stripped down in terms of detailing. Also, I'll probably ask for a more rounded toe because of my wide feet and because I prefer that to a pointy or chiselled toe.

Here's my question: if you were having dress oxfords made for you, what would you ask for? Pictures of your own shoes or links to manufacturer's websites for examples would be much appreciated.

I'll post some pictures of the styles that I'm leaning towards but I won't include the brand or maker as I don't want to bias people's opinions.

These are the ones my lass likes best so far:
