Unboxing Wine Shadow Loafer Spade from Carlos Santos

When we talk about the color of dress shoes, black comes first. The second place, I think it should be dark brown, and the third place, it is burgundy. Red sounds contradictory, won’t it be too eye-catching? But deep wine shadow like No. 8 color of Horween shell cordovan is very versatile, on loafers, I am afraid that the status is even above dark brown. Because we wear loafers in summer, the color of the clothes will not be too dark or too formal, and black is a little strange. The formality of burgundy is just right, and it is not too eye-catching.

A New Loafer from Badia

Badia released a new model of loafer which is very different with its previous sleek and slender ones, and the market applauded.

When I looked at this pair, I thought of Lopez from John Lobb. To be fair, the last is different, however this last is too far away from its signature lasts.

I contacted JIANG Daoyuan, the founder of Badia to know his concept.

My Shoe Collection – Lorenzo from Berluti

Berluti is the most famous dress shoe company in the world because its parent company has put a lot of resource to promote it, and the company is called LVMH which is best at marketing even in history.

Before the acquisition of LVMH, Berluti was the leading French shoemaker already. Today, LVMH put tailoring heritage of Arnys into Berluti and make it a fashion label, and the shoes are more and more Avant Garde and deviate from classic.

Luckily, some iconic models are well kept and this one is a also a great model with innovation on leather selection.

便士乐福看什么？

乐福是中国男装第一皮鞋，没有任何争议。便士乐福是世界乐福鞋中的霸主。但是这个第一和霸主，没有调和在一起，因为中国男人最爱的乐福，或者说纯正一脚蹬，是这样的。

当然，我这双是意大利原版，但是精髓你知道了，鞋面无装饰性设计（我这双的鸵鸟腿皮不算），然后脚背皮延申较高。我认为这个较高的延申，是为了盖住脚背，显得更正式。不过这也是我的猜测而已，都穿乐福了，还什么正式不正式。

会出现这样的情况，我认为是改革开放后意大利时尚的疯狂涌入，成为了正统，就像桑塔纳在五菱宏光之前，是睥睨天下的神车一样。这个大众巴西特供版丢到中国，没想到成为30年顶级印钞机。

正本清源，请各位男性看回便士乐福这个更好看，更优雅，更自如，更不油腻的款式。

My Shoe Collection – Pembrey from Church’s

Every time when the community talks about Church’s, the words are quite intense.

Every time I glance at some forums especially made of very experienced connoisseur, Church’s are highly praised, but only for its shoes long time ago.

It is so interesting that a same brand can have two extreme comments and both valid. I personally owns several pairs and I can confess they are not bad, but not so good for the price. Of course, I never bought the shit made in Italy named English Shoes.

Let us check this pair, an iconic.

Let us have a look at this rendition of Sons of Henrey for the most classic loafer.
