连Wildsmith都不知道，你说什么乐福
乐福是谁发明的？很多人不知道，一些以为自己知道的，可能会说Alden。但是Alden只是发明了流苏乐福，不是乐福。另外更加专业的，会回答Aurland，挪威品牌，嗯，说到这个，还是有点家伙的。
但是被公认的，主流乐福的发明人（品牌），就是来自英国的Wildsmith。一定很多人没听过。没听过就对了，这不就是我科普的机会了吗？

Herring and Alfred Sargent
Herring is basically the cheapest welted shoe brand in the UK, however it is not low at all, because it is a select shoe shop with private label made by shoe factories in Northampton.
Model Archive – Wildsmith
Wildsmith was a very famous bespoke shoemaker in London which designed the first loafer for King Edward VII, but fell down very quickly. After many years sink, the owner of Cad & The Dandy purchased the brand and revived Ready To Wear collection and entrusted Alfred Sargent to make the shoes. The endeavor was not very successful and Wildsmith was transferred to English online shoeshop Herring and became the premium end of Herring own labels. Alfred Sargent had its own problem and the shoes were later made by Joseph Cheaney & Son. Even Herring cannot save the brand and abolished it to ash in 2020.
Let me make an archive for this wonderful brand and great models.
