How to fix a chipped wooden clog!

by

We love clogs here at Shoe Market. They look great with everything, are comfortable and last forever! The wood can chip occasionally.  Be careful not to drop them like we did. You may end up with a chip in the wood. You can take them to any shoe maker to repair them. Or do it yourself. Here’s how:

You will need: wood putty or wood filler, small knife, sand paper, paint or stain.

Here’s the chipped clog.

Step 1) Fill in the chip with wood filler and wait for it to dry

Step 2) Sand down the putty for a smooth even surface

Step 3) Paint chip to match, this is the trickiest part as the paint takes differently to putty vs wood. But once your foot is in you won’t see the difference!

The finished product

how to look good in foul weather

by

 

Winter time in NY is not the best time to dress/look good. It’s windy, it can snow or rain and it’s cold!

Well it’s not the end of the world, though. All you have to do is TO BE PREPARED.

 

 

 

 

For Ladies, our ‘Aston’ Boots from Hunter at Shoe Market are great choice. They look great with your colorful tights, or cute wool socks. The wedge sole makes you look fashionable in boring rainy/snowy days.

 

 

 

 

Don’t forget about your BF or Husband! And don’t worry, We got a new boots from Hunter called Kerrera. Put your man into those and they will be happy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For your kids, We also got  nice boots from Hunter. Actually We have them for Men, Women and for Kids, so you can be all matchy match! Woo hoo!

 

 

 

 

 

If you are more serious about being warm and practical, ‘Kelly Vinter’ from Tretorn is perfect for you. Chic look + Shearling inside? = need to say more?

 

 

 

Also it’s ALWAYS nice to have some practical umbrellas. It keeps your hair keep looking awesome and if you are wearing a fur, RAIN IS BAD for them. It makes fur shed!!!

Mini Mini Market got these awesome bubble umbrellas!

 

 

 

 

Ok, now you got some ideas. Just take a walk to Bedford, come to our stores, get some gears and you are all set for the winter!

Shoe Market + Jeffrey Campbell = Burglar!?

We are so excited to announce our new collaboration with Jeffrey Campbell is finally here.

 Shoe Market + Jeffrey Campbell/ Burgler in Black Combo $175

 Burglar in Brown/Black $175

 

 

 

I’ve always wondered  how ‘Collabo Items’ are being created.

Do so many fashion brands just borrow names from famous people, then put their name on the products??!!

Are they really creating items together??

 

 

Ok Mama, I will tell you how WE do it.

 

 

 

 

It’s actually tons of work..

  1. Start talking to Jeffrey what kind of style We would like to create. Do some research, find some good images etc.
  2. Think about details. Leather, Color,Sole,Stitches ….. aaah so many little things to think about. Then tell Jeffrey Campbell our images.
  3. JC orders samples to their factory in Asia, We wait to receive them.
  4. Check out the samples, usually there’s always something that we would like to change, so tell those things to the factory. (This back and force sometimes goes on forever)
  5. When finally We are happy with our creation, We release our order to the factory.
  6. WAIT…for like 6 month to receive them.

 

 

 

 

Now you know how excited We are to finally see our babies on selling floor, also how it came out.

 

Thank you Jeffrey Campbell ♥

These babies are ONLY AVAILABLE at SHOE MARKET (proud parents!!),

Get your special pair here before they run out.

 

Warning : You might accidentally steal so many hearts on the street with your instant- chic look in those shoes!!
