An excerpt from latest footwear review. “The Veblen shoe wouldn’t be complete without it’s longwing design, which is the icing on the cake.. unless you like cake without its icing, weirdo. Starting from the heel, the longwing design glides along both sides meeting at the toe box exploding, forming to what it seems to be an owl faced character . Wait for it …..*hoot hoot*. Quadruple stitched isn’t as common as it should be in the world of footwear, but Florsheim seems to offer it on all of their wingtip designs even with such a low retail price, that’s not only outstanding but also impressive!” Please click on the image to read the full review.

There was a time when the “fashion Gods” over at GQ, I only quoted this because although I try not to use the word God lightly I needed to make an obvious point, said never to wear black shoes “only for weddings and funerals”. Adam Rapoport in an episode of GQ Style featuring Domenico Vacca discuss brown shoes and how black shoes are ‘easy’ and in another episode Glen O’Brien, who I love, was totally against black shoes too. This was about a year ago, back when buying brogues was all new to me (I primarily wore Jordan’s and Nike’s) so I agreed, nodded my head in consent and proceeded to listened. Sticking to the rule of wearing only different shades of brown given to me by Domenico, I later realized brown didn’t suit me well and also stupid, the advice I mean. Fashion magazines always talk about how one should develop style, not follow trends and break “the rules”, but here’s the thing, by telling us black shoes are strictly for, and I again I will quote Mr. Vacca, “only for weddings and funerals” you are limiting people in a way one can’t be literally black and white minimalistic. Also Hypocritical. After my neon colored shoe phase has passed I started to appreciate the simpler things in fashion, such as the fitted white button down or the camel trench. The look I love is a cropped trouser complemented by a pair of Florsheim black brogue, just like how Thom Browne would do it. Think about how ‘that look’ would come out with a pair of brown loafers or wing tip… not as simple and clean in comparison to the black pair eyy?  <— Rhetorical question.
