A delivery of Corthay MTO shoes has arrived and we present a few for your viewing pleasure. Arca Sévres Last, Bleu [...]

We cordially invite you to join us for a trunk show with master shoemaker Pierre Corthay on October 11th from 11:00 – 7:00 pm. Corthay is arguably one of France’s most dynamic shoemakers; his shoes are elegant and ultra sophisticated, like small works of art. He began his shoemaking career at Les Compagnons du Tour [...]
Pierre Corthay’s Belphegor is a Parisian take on the Scottish Ghillie. Its unique open lacing structure is unmistakable. These shoes are truly one a kind, a work of art as well as a dress shoe, combining the audacious look of the Ghillie with the intense elegance of Corthay’s sleek last and and rich Bergeronette patina. [...]
Corthay shoes are many things, elegant, streamline, and sophisticated are a few adjectives that come to mind. But one thing they are not and that is for the faint of heart. Case in point is this pair of Arca in Framboise patent leather with silk ribbons and pom-poms. These are the kind of shoes that [...]
The Arca is the quintessential Corthay shoe. It’s sleek and elegant, simplicity at its finest. In subtle Vieux Bois, this shoe is light, rich, and versatile. The color wonderfully displays Corthay’s unmatched staining technique, with dynamic color and impressive shine. Put these on with anything from jeans to a suit and you will have mountains [...]
Pierre Corthay’s shoes are wicked, you might even say satanic. In this case the name fits perfectly just like his shoes. The Satan whole cut is an evil piece of shoemaking epitomized by the sculpted toe. These shoes are not for the timid or traditionalist they are bold and meant to be worn with a [...]
Pierre Corthay’s Yawl is an extremely unique penny loafer. It’s all about the details: the sharp angles, the one-of-a-kind Vieux Bois stain, the narrow last, the stitched toe, and the exaggerated tongue. This is a shoe that you have to see to believe. Yet again, Pierre has brought his masterful art to our feet. Check [...]
There are a lot of wingtips, but like everything Pierre Corthay makes, the Vendome wingtip is in a class of its own. This shoe is all about angles and curves: its broguing follows winding lines from the wingtip front to the side panels to the heel counter. The Vendome’s sloping modern shape is the perfect [...]
This pair of Corthay Made to Order shoes is one of those Oh Wow shoes, meaning our reaction when we opened the box. The color Bronze Vert is difficult to explain and capture on a digital camera but believe us it is something very special. Arca Monk Strap 001 Last, Bronze Vert, Brass Buckles – [...]
