Some ASW readers are determined men indeed. I wrote last December about Calzaturificio Miserocchi, the small Italian maker that developed the original car shoe (which is not the same thing as the Car Shoe which I understand is made by Prada somewhere in Rumania). They spoke no English at Miserocchi at that time, but nonetheless a reader sent them a tracing of his feet and an order. Seven months later he received this pair of drivers, duplicates of a pair worn by the late L'Avvocato, Gianni Agnelli. I call that determination.
The situation appears significantly easier now, with the caveat that I have not tried it myself yet, as there is an online ordering system for the shoe. Cowhide, beaver or deerskin for 180 euro the pair.

Romania?
Will, in the instance you mention, were the shoes MTM? The website does not seem to offer that service, but it would be of great interest to me.
