Hi @bundini, thanks for the comment. I will certainly return should i find my way back to Vienna. Not sure i'll ever be able to afford such luxury for the feet but i'll certainly never scrimp again.

Wow! Who knew that there was so much "science" involved in the Art of Shoemaking? Not I, that's for sure. Great interview. And 15 minutes? That's a serious amount of time -- although perhaps compared to the 10months for a first pair of bespoke shoes, Bela sees that as a blink of the eye. Can you imagine, in daily social technology space, starting an idea and then ALWAYS knowing that it takes 10months to completion? I loved the special comment on how, in the Far East, they use the knowledge of the anatomy of the foot to deliver torture -- by design. (Many of us have "accidentally" discovered those torture points -- not by design. ;) Now I know the "coup de grace" on whenever I take my #VSOE journey is to stop in Vienna, make an appointment with Bela and begin the 10-month journey to a perfect pair of shoes.
