I believe these shoes have been featured here before and I believe the general comments were to just buy Clarks. That’s fair enough because Clarks are a great classic staple shoe, and there isn’t much wrong with them. However, a couple of them are covered by Visvim’s version. The all natural crepe soles are definitely nicer, a couple of the colors offered are hard to get from Clarks with the natural colored sole and the playful heel counter offers something a little different, but very wearable. I’m not always a fan of the colored synthetic pieces on Visvim’s shoes, but I really do like the light spring colored dots and I think these would be great to have right about now, unfortunately there are only a couple sizes left at Honeyee.

Words

While we are anxiously awaiting our first delivery from Yuketen, they have just updated their website with a look at the collection and a couple of shots from their Spring–Summer look book. The collection is one of my favorites and includes some friendly faces like the Ranger Moc along with some of Yuki’s classic hand-sewn experiments. The collection is always interesting and never boring. While it’s hard to get a good look at most of the models online, they should be hitting stores over the next month. If you’re looking to pick up just one pair of new shoes for the spring-summer, I would be hard pressed to not pick something from Yuketen.

Present have just received fresh spring stock of their in-house footwear collection made by none other than Tricker’s. The folks at Present have been working with Tricker’s for much longer than blogs have been around and they continue to lead the way. My favorites from the spring delivery are the low cut derby on the Vibram sole. The colours are rich and are nicely accented by the brass hardware and boot laces.

The Beams collections have begun to release online with a handful of strong collaborations and pieces specifically from the Beams Plus collection. This seasons print catalog looks great again – from the styling to the photography every angle is covered and I’m happy to give you a glimpse into some of my favorite spreads. These looks include a mixture of Beams Plus pieces and other items from their shops. I really love the style, the colour palette and feel of the photos. We’ll be showing you the Beams Plus collection and a couple collaborations later in the week as well.

Quoddy Ring Boots

Words

I've been looking forward to getting a pair of Ring Boots for a long time now. I really love the look of the silhouette but it's taken a while to get the right mix of sole and upper to really find a balance I can wear easily. This will probably be my favorite shoes this spring. They will be available at the Inventory Stockroom in the near future.
