    Hi Tobus,

    Check out eBay sale 200360179047.

    I have a pair myself. Yes, they are made in Pakistan. Are they worth the money - Oh, yes. Can you wear them, all day, every day? No, they're not that kind of shoe. They are very dressy, for very dressy occasions. I wore my pair for 12 hours at the last Ferintosh Burns Supper without any problems.

    Regards

    Chas

    Thanks for the tip. Sadly, they do not have them in my size (which is usually the case). I got a little excited when skauwt mentioned that he found them in the size he did, since usually I can't find anything smaller than a size 7 UK. But on the ebay listing you mentioned, they only have them in sizes 7 UK or larger. Ho hum, same old story...

    Try contacting Mr. Geoffrey and ask if they could be made in your size. He's good about answering emails. This is the address on his website:
    mhg@skt.comsats.net.pk
    --dbh

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    here is a couple of photos one of the back seam (forgive the sock on the diggerido)and one to show the diamond detail pattern on the cuffs they fit rather nice ....they do seem to have a left and right sock
    its possible they work for Mr Geoffrey but the packing i received them in was the same as the seller had received them in i couldn't image them selling them for the same price as they paid but it possible they get in bulk and get a discount
