I just received via Japan the November issue of Ates magazine, which includes a very nice article about Leffot on the World Press page. Thank you Ates we appreciate your coverage very much.

A Few Words on Fit
We all know how important it is that shoes fit comfortably, but how do you determine what the “proper” fit is? That’s a highly subjective question, and can be asked of anything we wear such as a suit or a shirt although they probably won’t cause extreme pain or permanent damage if they aren’t right. [...]
Paul Newman 1925-2008
I liked Paul Newman a lot, not only was he a great actor to watch on screen, I liked his style. He was cool as Luke, he was fast as Eddie, and great as Butch, Hud, Brick, Henry, and too many other characters to mention here. I’m not sure I would have considered him a [...]

G&G Trunk Show in Words & Pictures
Our Gaziano & Girling trunk show this past Wednesday was an unqualified success. Dean and I were busy all day fitting, advising and just schmoozing with our clients who placed several MTO and Bespoke orders. I think everyone had a very enjoyable experience and are now eagerly awaiting their new shoes. On a personal note [...]

Invest Now
My friends do not fear do not panic for now is the time to be bold, to invest, maybe not in the markets but rather in something of lasting quality and value, say a pair of “quality” shoes for instance. My suggestion is to spend a little less on clothing and “invest” in the best [...]
The Green Giant
There’s perhaps no other shoe in the store that draws as much attention as this magnificent pair of Corthay, Cocteau in “Vert Bronze”. The color is amazing blending shades of green with what can only be described as flecks of bronze dust. I sell this shoe well to men that enjoy setting themselves apart from [...]

The Time for Suede
Fall is full of texture, wool, cashmere, flannel, and suede all rich and all beautiful. Suede is made from the under side of the skin as a result it has a nap either short or longer and is softer on the foot. Many people admire it and it reached its pinnacle of desire in the [...]
GQ the West Village and Leffot
The October issue of GQ is on newsstands today. I’m particularly excited about the article; From “Cute” to Cool-the Rise of the West Village, because it includes Leffot on pages 134 & 136, calling us “A dangerous place” which I think they mean in a good way. It lists several other cool spots for shopping, [...]
The Aubercy Wholecut
What I find most appealing about a wholecut shoe is the simplicity and formality. Made from a single piece of leather there a no other lines to distract the eye. It is also a very comfortable fit because there are no other seams that might cause pressure on a particular spot of the foot. This [...]
The Monmouth
The Monmouth by Edward Green is the perfect example of an English shoe that is not afraid to be just that. The extended storm welted double leather souls gives this shoe a strong masculine look, beautifully hand brogued and pinked. Crafted in rich Dark Oak it’s a combination that makes this a great all around [...]
Simply Weston
This J.M. Weston 3 eyelet derby is making its debut on the blog. I’m not really sure why I haven’t posted it before now. It’s a very popular style at Leffot not just because of it’s sleek lines and plain almost boot looking toe, it’s also a very comfortable fitting shoe. A tapered toe but [...]
