Which shoe brands should you choose?

Berwick or Myrqvist. Carmina or Crockett & Jones. Heinrich Dinkelacker or Santoni. Alden or Church’s. J.M. Weston or Edward Green. Berluti or John Lobb. Some difficult choices between exceptional shoemakers, from Goodyear-welted shoes to refined loafers and classic British footwear. For me, comfort, proportions and a restrained design language often decide it. Which choices would you make?
