Gaziano & Girling Bespoke

By steven | Published: 10 February 2012

Oh joy, oh rapture my new G&G bespoke shoes have arrived and I couldn’t be one tiny happier. They’re exactly as I imagined them when I placed the order last spring.

It’s difficult to overstate what a talented designer Tony Gaziano is and what a fine shoemaker Dean Girling is. The beauty of this pair is the sleekness, the angles, and the color.

G&G Bespoke shoes are generally lighter in weight, have less volume in the instep and have very tight waists thru the soles. Every aspect of the making is hand done and the high level of craftsmanship comes thru in the best possible way.

If you’ve ever considered owning a pair of bespoke shoes I highly recommend a pair by G&G they are most excellent. Our next trunk show with Gaziano & Girling is scheduled for Monday, April 23rd.

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.

Gaziano & Girling Burlington

By steven | Published: 30 January 2012

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

By steven | Published: 27 January 2012

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.
