Side laced
非常高兴，我是全世界互联网上第一个写这个皮鞋款式的人。
这可以算是皮鞋款式里最高端的存在，到今天为止，提供这个款式成鞋的，应该不超过5个品牌。
顾名思义，Side laced就是在侧面系鞋带。
我实在不明白，为什么会有人这么剑走偏锋。
Side laced是英国传奇定制鞋匠Foster & Son为演员Laurence Olivier在20世纪40年代设计的款式。很遗憾，Laurence穿着这个鞋款的照片并未保留下来，原版的鞋子，在互联网上也不见图片。

This is not an easy thing!
Recently, many readers ask for my opinion on Gulun, so I got this pair.

什么时候穿Mattina Elgar
Mattina可以被认为是国产缝制鞋最具代表性的品牌，如果以销量论，应该是位列前茅的。
肯定会有人说Thom Wills和特吕弗的销量和知名度更高，可是从产品力来说，这两家和Mattina的差距，非常巨大。就像国内的定制店千千万，我谈的却只有那么少数几家。
我为什么我对Mattina特别的欣赏呢？除了鞋子在水准之上外，更重要的原因，就是在品牌建设上，一定是这个领域中最好的。

My Shoe Collection – Nevis from Barker
When people talk about British shoes, in terms of the frequency, first of all, the three premium ones (John Lobb, Edward Green and Gaziano & Girling). Then it is Crockett & Jones. Bespoke shoemakers are also darlings to shoe enthusiasts, such as Foster & Son and George Cleverley.
