Corthay shoes are known for their distinct shapes and colorful patinas. With aerodynamic curves and sleek contours, each Corthay shoe offers its own unique personality.

Corthay has many styles to be custom made. You can select the color, piping, sole, and size. We offer only made-to-order shoes with Corthay. That is, the fit is not custom. For bespoke, please contact Corthay directly.

If you have any questions, we’re always available to offer suggestions or guidance. Email us, call, or visit our shop.

Corthay also offers belts and small leather goods for custom order. They can be made in the same colorful patinas offered for Corthay shoes. Please contact us with any questions or inquiries.

Corthay is arguably one of France’s most dynamic shoemakers. His shoes are elegant and sophisticated, like small works of art. He began his shoemaking career at Les Compagnons du Tour de France, a venerable crafts guild. He later worked for John Lobb Paris before taking over as atelier head at Berluti. In 1990 he struck out on his own and has not looked back.

In 2010 he was awarded the honor of “Master of Art” by the government of France. The Master of Art designation of France, while not widely known in the US, is not bestowed lightly. In short, it means that the individual or firm is a cultural icon.

Edward Green offers a variety of options when creating a pair of custom made shoes or boots. First, select the model you’d like to create, whether it’s the classic Chelsea captoe oxford or the RAF-inspired Kentmere boot. Next, choose the last — or the shape — you prefer, and pair it with the leather and soles of your choice.

Edward Green’s offerings are strictly made to order. That is, the fit is not customizable. They do not offer bespoke shoes or fit adjustments. That said, we find Edward Greens fit the majority of our customers very well.

If you have any questions, we’re always available to offer suggestions or guidance. Email us or call or visit our shop.

Some Edward Green accessories can be custom made, while others (such as polishing rolls and scarves) cannot. Contact us for more information.

The finest shoes in all of England for the discerning few

Edward Green is regarded by many to make “the finest shoes in all of England for the discerning few.” A more classic English shoe would be hard to find. Having been in business for more than 120 years, Edward Green has become discreetly famous for the finest welted shoes.

Cut by hand from the world’s finest leathers, each pair of Edward Greens is made in our Northampton workshop according to the same principles that have guided us for over a century. Crafted and honed with unerring attention to detail our shoes embody the timeless elegance of quintessentially English style.

We're still based in Northampton and have over sixty skilled artisans making around 350 pairs of shoes a week, many for export to the world's leading boutiques and department stores as well as our own shops in  London and Paris.

We continue to strive to make the best shoes possible, refining and improving where appropriate, but always taking  our time to ensure that each pair of shoes is fit to bear our founder’s  name and dress another generation of men who appreciate the difference.

Hiro visits our store every spring to take orders. He does not accept bespoke commissions at our trunk shows. We do not accept orders for Hiro’s shoes outside of trunk shows.

Made-to-order shoes are made on Hiro’s standard lasts developed using Hiro’s years of experience. During the trunk show, Hiro will guide you to the best size and last for your foot type.

You will be able to select the model, leather, and sole from Hiro’s many available options.

The shoes do not include any trial fittings. Lace-ups, loafers, and elastic-sided shoes can be made to order.

Made-to-measure shoes help accommodate foot shapes that do not fit well in Hiro’s standard lasts. Using a standard last as starting point, Hiro will modify it to better fit your foot. This is more cost-efficient than bespoke, which requires creating a last from scratch. Hiro does not take bespoke orders at our trunk shows.

Any style of shoe can be made to measure.

Thomas Riemer gloves are handmade in Hungary by highly skilled craftspeople with years of experience. He offers both hand- and machined-stitched gloves. His hand-sewn gloves are crafted by seamstresses who previously worked with his father, and the machine stitched gloves are produced on vintage sewing machines. Thomas uses only the finest skins, hand-selecting each with meticulous care for the finest quality and construction.

Thomas Riemer bags are crafted from a thicker version of the same leathers used for their gloves. They’re made in a family-owned workshop in northern Italy. The bags are soft, supple, and lightweight, yet sturdy enough to last years and age beautifully.

Thomas Riemer is based in Austria, where he operates the oldest glove shop in Vienna, which was founded in 1845. He entered the glove business in his early 20s to work alongside his father, Erwin Riemer, co-owner of the Austrian glove company RIKA. Erwin founded RIKA in the '60s with a partner. They produced fashion and sports gloves in workshops in Austria and Hungary.

RIKA ceased business in 2001, when Erwin passed away. Thomas, who had been their European sales director, stepped away from the glove industry until six years later, when the owners of Vienna's oldest glove shop asked if he wanted to take over their business. By this time Austrian glove makers were nearly extinct, and Thomas was eager to continue the tradition.
