That was the subject line of the email I received from my very good client and serious shoe enthusiast Mr. Hythe. The email: I was looking at a picture of whiskey Alden NHS (Norwegian Hand Sewn) and I was thinking to myself: you know what? This shoe is pretty much as good as the Dover. [...]
We received a few new MTO’s. I normally post the information about the shoes but as a change of pace let’s see who can name, the maker (easy) style, last and colors. I’m calling it the MTO quiz. Good luck, there is one in particular that may be tricky. Style #1 Style #2 Style #3

A must have for lovers of brogues; there’s plenty here to go around. Church’s McFarlane Boots in Black Pull [...]

Well everyone that came to the Rider Boot Co. trunk show yesterday looked as if they really enjoyed themselves. Ron is a great guy and his boots, calf, and cordovan selections are spot on. I have to admit I’ve never seen navy cordovan, or mule shells. The new samples were very well received and we [...]

We received a brand new boot by Church’s today. The McFarlane is the first of our new fall boots to arrive. They some how remind me of Dr. Martens meet Tricker’s. These boots are black pull up calf (full grain) on storm welted double rubber lug soles. They have bumped out wing toes for roomy [...]
A while back I posted pictures of two Edward Green Shannon’s, one men’s and one of the new ladies collection. Both were in the try on stage so the soles were not yet attached and in the case of the men’s brown boot the color was not yet finished. Both pair came out looking fantastic. [...]
On July 20, 1969 a 12 year old boy in the suburbs of Detroit along with his friends and family watched in utter fascination as Neil Armstrong became the fist man to step foot on the surface of the moon. Many events have come and gone since that warm July evening in 1969, and we [...]
We had a Bank of America commercial filmed in the store yesterday. The crew brought in props and turned the space into a clothing store, a woman’s shoe store, and a children’s shoe store. The whole shoot took only a few hours and was pretty uneventful. The only damage was a make up stain on [...]
We received a reorder of the Abbeyhorn hand carved shoehorns today. Carved from Oxen horn no animal is ever killed solely for the horns, they are a by-product of the meat industry. Each horn is uniquely different due to its color and texture. As a result the carver must work with the horn while carving [...]
