For the day I have sampled a very interesting shoe, not seen on a daily basis around town, a button shoe with side gussets made of very heavy weight hide. The Balmoral button boot is rare, but the shoe version is almost instinct, then add a side gusset to it, it is becomes so individual and rare as rare can get. However a gent commissioned a button shoe, with the distinctive GJ Cleverley chisel square toe and then topped it of with a heavy duty hide from elephant. The beauty of this shoe is in the minor details, the design, the adding of the gusset and lastly the hide selection. Ultimate result a beautiful, elegant, classic and timeless shoe. Again GJ Cleverly opened the magic shoe box.

Really amazing pair! Probably not cheaper than alligator but indeed unique. Even elephant hide has a little different texture then usually such hide has.
ReplyDeleteHi ToL,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. My guess would be a tad cheaper than alligator/crocodile, but the shoe is no lesser unique.
Have a pleasant day.
