The customer is "boss."
I love Robert August shoes because the customer has the ability to basically design his/her own shoe in a wide variety of leathers/colors. I like the fact the shoes are made in Spain and not in India, Pakistan, and other countries that exploit employees. Also, his shoes much more reasonably priced than American-made shoes. Alden shoes have gotten ridiculous expensive, while Allen Edmonds has even started cutting corners. Oh, Rancourt offers American-made custom shoes, although they don't have the variety offered by Robert August. BTW whenever I emailed Robert August, I was shocked that it was always Robert who answered my emails. When was the last time the owner of a company responded to customers' emails?

Thank you so much for the kind words!
