 ]]> Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:35:15 +0000 <![CDATA[Oh how we love a Welted Shoe!]]> http://www.authorshoes.com/blog/welted/shoe/ welted shoe and it seems there is someone who shares our enthusiam about the subject.

After being engrossed in an article in the Evening Standard written by new found (well made) shoe lover Joshi Herrmann we just couldn't help but
share our thoughts on the following matter too...

First up Joshi begins to inform us about his movement from buying high street shoes, that will fall to bits within a few months, to
the dawning 'Wide eyed' moment he walked down Jermyn Street in London, where his shoe world completely changed. He begins to widen his knowledge about leather soles and is introduced to a well known Welted Shoe Makers, named Loakes.



Now Loakes are up on our list  of being, lets face it, a bloody incredibly well made pair of shoes. Leather soles, 
Welted, Stitched, finest leather and gorgeous colouring to the leathers that they use, all for an amazing price range...really if
you're wanting to try a shoe of great (Northampton made) quality, Loakes are a great way to start.  All in all as Joshi 
puts it, the 'hallmark to a good British shoe' and we couldn't agree more.  

He then moves on to discuss that 'A good shoe should outlive you'. Countless loyal customers of ours are dedicated to
buying high quality, which in turn definitely repays you. Think about it, a new pair of shoes every 6 months because yours have
fallen apart for £60? OR a pair of shoes that lasts you 20 years for £300...you do that math. Worth it right?

It's a following, a cult so to speak, and to us at Author Shoes and now Joshi Herrmann its imperative. So if you're a Church's sort of guy, or maybe even Grenson floats your boat, Welted hand made shoes are the way forward.  See you on the other side shoe lovers!! ]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2013 16:32:41 +0000 <![CDATA[Underground Creepers IN OUR SALE!!]]> http://www.authorshoes.com/blog/creepers/sale/
