Gentleman's Guide to Shoes & how to wear them

A crucial issue in modern men’s style is the choice of appropriate footwear to pair with their overall business wardrobe.

This beautiful guide written by traditional shoemaker Schuh Bertl (author of “Haferl Shoe”, published 2015 at Heel Verlag) offers a profound overview on the history and development of footwear produced for businessmen, depicts the most important manufacturers, explains their materials and construction considerations and gives helpful advice on how to pick out quality footwear that suits your own style for each occasion, should it require elegant or rather casual style.

However it is not only about the right choice of footwear but also about pairing them with pants, socks, ties, belts, and bags and – last but not least – how to care for them!
