Edward Green Arlington, Tobacco Suede

steven — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:22:08 +0000

If we had our way everything would be made in tobacco suede. The color is amazing and makes every pair of shoes look incredible. The key is to start with a great style by a great shoe-making company and the rest takes care of itself.

Our new Edward Green Arlington is special. Every time we open a box smiles light up the room. It’s a happy color yet stylish and sophisticated.

Yet another example of our MTO program, shown here two recent pairs of made to order Gaziano and Girling shoes.

Two customers ordered the same model, same leather, and the same soles, but on two different lasts: the DG70 and the TG73. Thus offering the a unique opportunity to see the same model in two ways.

TG73 Last, Vintage Oak Calfskin, Single Leather Soles – MTO

Gaziano & Girling Burlington

The newest arrival by Gaziano & Girling is the Burlington in black calfskin. We love the formality of black oxfords but these shoes also have great style, which is something not easily found in other captoe oxfords.

That’s not really surprising to us though because G&G make some of the most stylish and sophisticated English shoes today.

Alfred Sargent Alex MTO

People always say that the devil is in the details and there’s no better example of the truth in that statement than the one at hand.

Two of our customers ordered very similar shoes from Alfred Sargent. Both are the Alex, Alfred Sargent’s version of the classic jodhpur boot, in black suede with single leather soles. One customer, however, ordered a classic black edge while the other requested a natural edge. Its the difference between an elegant dress boot and a sporty, eclectic boot.

Boot Dressing

Now that winter seems to be settling in on most parts of the country we thought it might be a good time to re-post this video.

So many have asked us how to treat and protect their boots for winter that we’ve decided to put together a short video. Caring for your boots is not very difficult and if you take a little time to work on them it’ll go a long way to help protecting them.

The frequency of dressing your boots depends on the weather. You can’t over do it but you don’t have to go gonzo either. If it’s very wet do it more say once a week, if it’s not then once a month should be fine. If you live in a cold area the dry heat in your home will require you to dress them more often. There’s no definitive schedule but you’ll begin to know when just by looking at the condition of your boots.

Alden x Leffot 405C

steven — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:11:17 +0000

Alden’s Indy Boot is a classic work boot designed for comfort, support, and endurance. It was not, however, designed for winter. Fortunately, this problem is solved easily enough.

The addition of commando soles to the classic 405 design makes for an entirely new boot, with added traction for slippery surfaces and a lighter weight for nimbly dodging around patches of ice and snow.

Don’t be afraid to wear these once the snow melts though. Smooth brown cowhide makes for a more refined boot than most, which increases wearability and versatility, and lugged soles are suitable for almost any terrain. If you only own one boot, it should be this one.
