    I'm not convinced it's an actual shoe design. Looks more like a concept project, especially looking at his timeframe (6 weeks). *shrug* But I've been wrong many times before!

    Those are concept/design class models only.

    That's good, cos I think they seriously look like crap. Especially round the toe area, I wouldn't want to squeeze my toes in there - and if I did, and some epee person hit me there, I'd scream. Yuck.

    Maybe the next concept is "Safety Toe" Epee shoes?
