Boots were big last fall and all by all indication they’ll continue to be a strong footwear style this year. Of course there are all types of boots from rugged to refined. When it comes to the refined category Edward Green is the boot of choice around here bar none. All the boots below were [...]
A wise old gambler once said, “You gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em”. Sage advice no doubt and exactly what our Fold billfolds are all about. These svelte sheaths are about as low tech as you can get, just a single piece of Horween shell cordovan, three folds, and voila [...]
We’re really pleased with the Fold shell cordovan money holder; it’s elegant, simple and as low tech as you can get. Cordovan is very supple leather and develops a wonderful patina over time. We thought you might like to know that as beautiful as the finished side is the Fold can also be used on [...]

We are really excited about the new Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots for LADIES! It’s really difficult finding cool shoes for women. These are essentially a shrunken version of the men’s 1000 Mile boots so the proportions are perfect. The women’s 1000 mile is made just like the men’s of Horween Chromexcel in the USA. We’re [...]
There’s a misconception out there that suggests moccasins, like Quoddy are summer shoes. I don’t see it that way at all; in fact I think they’re great all season casual shoes. I also think the new Maliseet in British Tan Chromexcel makes my point. The color is an autumnal rusty brown great with denim, khakis [...]

We love it when clients tell us how much they love their shoes. We particularly loved this letter because it was from one of our female clients that recently purchased a pair of Corthay Arca size 5.5. Incidentally she also has a pair of Edward Green Ladies boots on order in Olive Antique, which are [...]
We’re all aboard the suede train these days, and the Church’s Chetwynd is bound in our direction. I love the look of brogues in suede, the punching and gimping conveys a deeper richer character than calfskin. They’re also incredibly versatile, great looking casually as well as with a charcoal or chalk stripe suit for instance. [...]
More than 100 years ago, Wolverine founder G.A. Krause built a company on a dream of creating finely crafted footwear using the best materials of the time. The Wolverine 1,000 Mile shoe was created in a time when men were looking for authentic craftsmanship and footwear that would last. Advertised as comfortable enough to “give [...]
When our friend Junji paid a visit from Tokyo recently I was struck at once by his shoes. I’ve been captivated by the Edward Green Wigmore for some time now. His pair were well worn and well loved. The thing about shoes is that they look best worn in. The creases and scuffs are a [...]
