As in all aspects of life people have their preconceived ideas and it’s no different when it comes to shoes. I like Church’s English Shoes for a number of reasons. They have longevity; they make classic/traditional shoes, and have now expanded to Woman’s styles. They have a large core stock in the UK and if [...]
As I mentioned we received a number of pairs of MTO’s from Edward Green on Friday. I plan to show them all in time but let’s start with these. The Sandringham 606 Last Burgundy Antique and Mahogany Country Calf on HAF Soles The Shepton 888 Last Edwardian Antique The Galway 606 Last Rosewood Country Calf [...]
These Gaziano & Girling MTO’s were in and out of the store the very same day. Both pairs for one of our favorite clients, who now owns four G&G’s. Given that he can have them made in his size, 9C has made him a true convert. I was quite happy to hear him say, “Since [...]

We received this order for a pair of Artioli MTO’s by way of a girlfriend that brought in her boyfriends very old pair of shoes and asked if it could be made again. We photographed the originals and sent it to Artioli. They identified the style and Voila a new pair was made.
This pair of Edward Green Banbury’s is on the 202 last in Chestnut Antique with Dainite soles. They were sent as a try on pair for our client (UK 6.5E) before proceeding with his original order of the Silverstone. They looked so beautiful and fit so well that he decided to purchase them. I think [...]

I was more than a little surprised when Santa Claus pulled up in front of the store today to deliver this pair of Edward Green MTO’s for Joe S. He’s a lucky man since he just had a pair of Arca’s delivered to him by Pierre Corthay earlier this month. Joe placed this order for [...]
Our latest MTO’s were personally hand delivered by Pierre Corthay himself this past weekend. The request was for a pair of Arca’s with a Violet base color and then heavily colored with black and black laces. The customers desired effect was to have them look like Japanese eggplants, which I think, was most effectively achieved. [...]
Our client Mr. J. wears the Amberley by Church’s religiously. The Amberley is the classic Chelsea Boot and is stocked in Black Calf with leather soles. Mr J requested one in Brown Nevada Calf and another pair in Black Calf both pairs with rubber soles. They came out looking great.

Our latest MTO arrival is from Pierre Corthay. This is the Wilfrid in black calf and black suede, a very elegant combination. The suede reminds me somewhat of a pair of spats.
