Back in Black
One of my favorite styles in the store is the Gaziano & Girling Mitchell, I wear it in Vintage Maple but it’s also one of my favorite shoes in black. I love the way the wingtip is achieved by stitching into the upper creating a lighter more contemporary version of this most classic of styles; [...]

Santa Came Early MTO
I was more than a little surprised when Santa Claus pulled up in front of the store today to deliver this pair of Edward Green MTO’s for Joe S. He’s a lucky man since he just had a pair of Arca’s delivered to him by Pierre Corthay earlier this month. Joe placed this order for [...]
Follow Up Post to Shoe Hurling
Last week the New York Times invited me to write a guest post on “The Moment Blog” about the shoe throwing incident involving President Bush and an Iraqi journalist. Now the Times reports that a shoemaker in Istanbul; Ramazan Baydan claims “he” made the shoes that journalist Muntader al-Zaidi threw at the President. You can [...]

The Elegance
The Aubercy wholecut is one of the most elegant shoes in our collection. For some reason it seems to draw strong attention from women when they are in the store. This is a very chic shoe and would do very well in a formal setting. In fact one of our clients recently purchased a pair [...]
Groom Kits
We’ve received two extraordinary “Groom Kits” (that’s groom as in shoe cleaning) produced in France by La Cordonnerie Anglaise. The woods are beautiful, one in Beechwood with leather corners, the other in Ebony. Each include 6 brushes, 1 shoehorn, 1 renovator, 1 Shampoo, 2 waxes, and 1 chamoisine; and measure 22.5x19x15 cm. Both make a [...]
It’s a Shoe Fling
It’s not everyday I get asked to write a “guest” blog post. So when the New York Times asked me to write a post for “The Moment Blog“ about the Iraqi journalist Muntader al-Zaidi who hurled his shoes at President Bush the other day I though “Why not?” I was considering writing a post about [...]
Corthay MTO
Our latest MTO’s were personally hand delivered by Pierre Corthay himself this past weekend. The request was for a pair of Arca’s with a Violet base color and then heavily colored with black and black laces. The customers desired effect was to have them look like Japanese eggplants, which I think, was most effectively achieved. [...]
The Corthay Show
Wow what a great show, our sincere thanks to Pierre for bringing an amazing collection of shoes. I would also like to thank those loyal clients that once again came out to “Just take a look” but as usual ended up ordering something, you will not be disappointed. For those who could not attend we’ll [...]
