Nice interview!

I didn't know you were into good English shoes. I haven't gotten much past Allen-Edmonds. Do you have a last at John Lobb's or any of the other nice shoemakers? I wonder if they make special shoes for pianists (to facilitate pedaling, for example). Ah, the shoe, a much neglected part of the playing apparatus ;D

 Lobb's are gorgeous, but if I had the bucks, I'd get bespoke Edward Green or Cleverly (love the chisel-toe).  The pedaling question is actually one I've posed to several cobblers, with varying degrees of amusement (their reaction).
