LEFFOT

Classic men’s footwear can be hard to find, especially if you’re a way off Saville Row and don’t have your own cobbler. For those who don’t want Swarovski-encrusted limited editions with a designer price tag and are tired of sportswear swooshes, breathe in the expensive luxury of brands like Church’s, Alden, Gaziano & Girling and Edward Green.

They even have a Made To Order service if nothing is quite putting the right spring in your step. And lest you start to think that classic has to mean boring, check out the Psycho Bunny range of socks which promise to stay up, and peruse the added extras that make up any gentleman’s wardrobe – beautifully crafted shoehorns by Abbeyhorn, Basil Racuk bags and Saphir shoe care products.

Watch out for the trunk shows for a chance to check out the new collections and order your perfect pair before anybody else. But you have to love the pretension-less motto of this beautiful shoe emporium, Nuquam Jactate – ‘never boast’ – so just remember you don’t have bragging rights when you step out in style; it would totally ruin the effect. Try a monocle instead?
