Stay Warm

December 29th, 2009

Kudos to those who have already picked up a pair of the Quoddy Grizzly boots timing is everything. For those who have yet to try them we still have some in stock. This boot is like wearing a shearling lined sleeping bag on your feet, incredibly soft and warm even barefoot.

Pining for Green

December 28th, 2009

Edward Green MTO’s this time the theme being Burnt Pine Antique. It’s uncanny how great minds think alike. These gentlemen placed their orders individually and yet they’re of a similar mind, are they not?

Burnt Pine Antique is a very popular and wearable color, a warm mid brown, which works extremely well with grays, blues, and browns not to mention a great pair of raw denim jeans.

Grizzly

December 24th, 2009

We can’t saw for a fact that these boots take their name from Grizzly Adams, but we can easily imagine the big guy wearing a pair. Nonetheless the Quoddy Grizzly boot is an excellent boot to keep your feet warm and cozy. These boots like all Quoddy’s are handsewn moccasin constructed made with Horween Chromexcel leather. Our Grizzly’s are fully lined in sheepskin with crepe wrapped soles. They’re incredibly light, soft and warm, ideal for stalking the urban wilderness.

Asquith & Ecton

December 23rd, 2009

A is for Asquith, E is for Ecton and now these two Edward Green classics are available at Leffot. Both models are part of the EG Core Collection. The real beauty of an Edward Green shoe is it’s timeless design and superb handcrafted quality. If you already wear them you’ll know what I mean, if you don’t I encourage to treat yourself.

Edward Green will celebrate their 120th anniversary in 2010, and to celebrate they will be offering a selection of Limited Edition models, more on that very soon.

Better With Age

December 17th, 2009

The Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots have traveled far and wide, our clients own them in Scotland, Australia, Germany, Singapore and this pair in Brazil. Antonio was kind enough to write us and let us know how much he is enjoying his.

If there is one question we get asked most often about these boots it’s “How will they wear?” Well, they look pretty good to us, obrigado Antonio.

Hi Steven,

I bough these black Wolverine 1000 Mile boots from you, when I was in New York, November 6th 2009 (a Friday – I was with my daughter). You were so kind and made me try the boots, and from that point on there was no going back! I bought them right away. Congratulations for your fantastic shop, and for the “out of shop” experience – the website, blog and so on – because that was how I discovered the store, surfing the web here in Brazil.

I am a painter, so I made this photo of the already worn boots in front of a little painting of mine.

Psycho Bunny Game On

December 16th, 2009

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and we can’t have that. Why not let him play in style with a Psycho Bunny game set. These games are made by the same guys that make ‘em for Vegas only much cooler.

Two by Two

December 15th, 2009

We received a delivery of Edward Green MTO’s and immediately realized a very interesting coincidence. All of the pairs had a fraternal twin, a mate or partner if you will in the parlance of our times.

This group really got me psyched; there are some very special shoes here.
