Feast your eyes on
these high-shine badboys...
Now, I’m a firm believer of ‘investment shoes’, or, spending a lot of
money on long lasting, versatile footwear that would be staples in a young man’s
wardrobe. Whether it’s just my personal way of justifying expensive purchases,
Oliver Sweeney’s latest collection definitely guarantees durability and the
attention that most well-dressed men appreciate, expected when they are priced
at between £170- 400.
Launching his business in 1989, Sweeney established his own business
based on ‘The Anatomical Last’- a unique in-sole design that supported the arch
of the foot and guaranteed comfort for the modern day gentleman. Yet, aside
from being practical, Sweeney quickly gained a reputation as a creator of ‘classic-with-a-twist’
shoes. Not afraid of being unconventional, Sweeney injects vitality and novelty
to traditional footwear such as the brogue or loafer by introducing colour or
patenting. His latest collection feature innovative creations such as welted
boots with decorative perforations typical of the brogue, or loafers in patent
maroon or blue. My favorites are the Eubank Tan Tassel Slip (appropriately
titled after the eccentric Chris Eubank) and the Farnell Blue Oxford Brogues.
They-are-beauts.
When I eventually find a job I know where the majority of mypay-slip is
going…
