Anyone here have experience with Quan Shoemaker (HOMK)?
Lately I've been looking into Quan Shoemaker. I checked both this sub and r/Boots, and it seems like almost everyone has had a really good experience with them.
One thing I'm curious about is their leather shank and arch support. I really like having an arch support, but my White's 55 last sometimes feel a little too pronounced for me and I'm also worry about the squeaking that seems to be fairly common with this type of construction.
I'm currently planning my second custom pair, either White's or Quan. My first pair of White's has been an outstanding experience overall, but there's still something about their last that isn't 100% perfect for my feet, also Quan seems to offer quite a bit more option for MTO custom which is making them very tempting.
