Every year I go through my shoe collection, as it looks at present time. A lot of lovely shades of brown, and one black model. 23 pairs in total, but several pairs will be sold of due to foot issues I have, more about that further down in the article.
Isetan Men’s shoe department is almost legendary among shoe interested men. It’s for a good reason. Here you find the single largest collection of classic men’s shoes in the world, over a thousand different models from manufacturers all around the world. Shoegazing have browsed the department.
Yesterday it became official that the French luxury brand Hermés acquire the Tanneries Du Puy from JM Weston. This means that Hermés now owns both the two largest suppliers of calf leather for quality shoes in the world.

London is one of the best cities in the world for those interested in classic quality shoes. The capital of England contains a large number of shoe stores and bespoke shoemakers, basically an excellent selection of almost everything you can be looking for. Shoegazing guides you to it, and for those who have no plans of visiting the city there’s hundreds of pictures which hopefully can act as some inspiration.
