What I find most appealing about a wholecut shoe is the simplicity and formality. Made from a single piece of leather there a no other lines to distract the eye. It is also a very comfortable fit because there are no other seams that might cause pressure on a particular spot of the foot. This [...]

Turn! Turn! Turn!
The Byrds said it, “To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn)” and like it or not summer is beginning to fade, the air has a fall feel to it and you can begin to notice the change of sunlight, it’s softer and shorter. I’m not complaining I like the fall [...]

My New Aubercy Boots
During my visit with Xavier Aubercy in March I spied this pair of boots in his shop. They didn’t have my correct size but Xavier kindly offered to produce them for me. They just arrived today and I wanted to share them with you. As with the rest of the Aubercy they are incredibly light [...]

The Loafer
Well the heat is back in New York and once again we look for ways to stay cool while looking good. Sure flip-flops are cool, but they don’t necessarily look it. For my money the Mars by Aubercy really delivers. It’s extremely lightweight and flexible which in turn helps your foot stay cooler and drier. [...]

Greg came to NY on business and had a bit of time for some shoe shopping. His friend recommended he stop by Leffot and check out the selection. He was very impressed with this pair of Aubercy 1016. He said they felt “incredibly light and comfortable”. He also really liked the fact that he was [...]
