LeatherFoot specializes in handcrafted leather shoes for men, the kind of investment pieces that a gent will still be wearing forty years from now. The Yorkville shop’s off-the-rack pairs range from $310 for driving shoes by La Cordonnerie Anglaise to $1850 for hand-stained monkstraps by Saint Crispin’s (whose Romanian workshop reportedly produces fewer than 1,300 pairs each year). However, discerning shoppers willing to wait a few months and chip in an extra $200 or more can specify the leather, colour and soles of any shoe in the store, including pairs by England’s Alfred Sargent and Spanish brand Carmina. Finally, the truly shoe-obsessed can order bespoke pairs (starting around $5,000), in which the entire last is made according to the client’s measurements.

Nabbing a front-row seat at a runway show nets you more than just a stellar view of the clothes. It also means having a chance to show off your own style chops—especially your footwear, since a row of crossed feet inevitably makes it into runway shots. The situation may annoy the pit photographers (immediately before the Antonio Azzuolo show began, one shooter barked, “Front row, uncross your legs!”), but it’s great for anyone with statement shoes to flaunt. There were plenty of contenders for best-shod at Fashion Week this season, with grommeted, metallic and bright cobalt kicks all vying for attention. We’ve rounded up our favourite look-at-me shoes of the week in the gallery below.
