I love my Quoddys. They’re my kick around shoes, I wear them sockless with shorts or chinos. I love the feel of the buttery soft leather linings. Unlike most local people from Hawaii, I prefer my Quoddys to slippers (flip-flops).

Continuing the craze with Alden’s soft lady calf, we present the Plaza cap toe boot in black. A natural edgetrim on a double waterlock leather sole really makes the boot “pop.” Switching out the black laces with brown may be a great look as well.
Alden’s lady calf is extremely soft and comfortable. It has a broken in feel right from the start.
SOLD OUT!

The austerity brogue has long been a favorite of ours here at LSW. The EG Beaulieu started the craze and it continues with Saint Crispin’s #104 in burgundy.
A couple pair already left us yesterday, one to our friend GW in Australia who will no doubt influence many others to follow suit.
$1700.00 (lasted, hollowed shoe trees included)

Here’s something a little different, a two tone longwing in cognac lady calf and snuff suede. Alden’s flex construction along with a oiled flex sole and the lady calf/suede upper makes this longwing feel like heaven on your feet.

I’ve been wanting a pair for about 5 years now and finally got one, the 105 wingtip in “blackish brown” crust leather on the chiseled last. They really are amazingly beautiful in person.
The fit is very nice as well. I take a 9F Edward Green 202 and 606, 9E Barrie last, 8.5EE John Lobb 7000 last. I ordered 8.5G and they fit perfectly. The support throughout the waist and heel is sublime. Somehow, it really does feel like a hand made shoe.

Leading off on our opening day lineup from Saint Crispin’s is the 215 cap toe oxford on the chiseled last in black. We opted for the chiseled last on a style of shoe primarily seen on a round toe last.
Every man need a black cap toe oxford in their wardrobe and this would be an amazing one to own.
$1700.00 (lasted, hollowed shoe trees included)

Ever since I first visited China about 6 years ago, my eyes have been opened to the endless opportunities available for manufacturing in China.
Since then, I have ordered custom paper bags, socks, boxes, and other random products. I’ve even started another company, Hawaii PaperWorks, a wholesaler of paper products for retailers.
If you have any interest in Chinese manufacturing, or even just curious about how “stuff gets made,” I highly recommend visiting China and exploring the abundant opportunities. The food aint bad either.

When I first saw Saint Crispin’s shoes in Tokyo about 5 years ago I immediately fell in love. The shape of their lasts, the beautiful finishing, and the genuine hand made nature really left me in awe. Since then, I wanted to stock them but didn’t think the timing was right.
Recently, through a Style Forum friend, I was introduced to Phillip Car and the rest is history. Mahalo EC and Phillip! We are all very excited to represent Saint Crispin’s!
