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!!

Swedish Hasbeens: Not a Boot for Your Grandma

by

 

So you’re probably think, why in the world would we get in stock at this point in the season a clog boot? But, let us tell you, this just isn’t any kind of clog boot. No siree, the “Grandma” clog boot is anything but typical, and we believe you should always carry untypical shoes in stock, no matter the season or temperature outside. The “Grandma” clog boot comes with the typical wooden Swedish heel as well as a small platform and we got in stock a cute, summery orange-nude color with sharp contrasting black laces–bold, we know. Made with real leather, the boot is complete with a cute pull tab and the hand stapling detail, all together it’s $345, which is why, this boot might not be for your Grandma, or rather maybe it can be for your Grandma if in the end it’s a gift for you. . . Grandmas are always tops in our book, and so are clog boots, it makes no different the season.

Rachel Comey In for Spring! RC’s Hitch

by

It’s really a no brainer by this point why a Rachel Comey boot would still sell like a hot cake as we transition into Spring. It’s a no brainer because her shoes are made for transitioning through the seasons. Combine it with the rich camel color and the supple, soft leather plus the pull tab and brass hardware, it’s a perfect, no brainer boot that people are still paying the RC price of $350 without a second look back. And an RC bonus: she has finally begun to put rubber on the entire sole, not just the heel part. It’s about time RC! Do you see why this boot is a no brainer?

Frye “Shirley” Shakin’ Down

by

Put away your notions about cowboy boots, because the Frye‘s “Shirley” boot is good lookin’ twist on the classic cowboy boot that knows how to shake it down–more than the “Grapevine.”  In an off-beat color of “natural,” we like this boot mostly for its is atypical shaft height–mid-calf or about 8″ high. Plus, the huarache-woven design along with the studs and the stacked heel makes us feel like hey, maybe, we could go to a rodeo and be the chicest cowgirl there ever was. To get the “Shirley” and shake it down, be willing to pay for the high quality of the brand and the hand-made attention: $288. Frye boots only get better with time, and that’s a fact. We speak from experience, because we’ve been shakin’ it down for years in Frye boots again and again.

The Leather Boot Craft Masters: Frye

by

It’s true when they say that when when something is crafted or hand-made, it’s a site to be seen, and the same applies to shoes. And one look at The Frye Company’s boots, gives you the notion, you’re seeing a boot made by a true “craft master.” We want to make sure we’re still keepin’ a few fresh boots for the transitional weather temperatures ahead, so we went ahead and made sure to have the “Samantha” boot by Frye in stock. If you’re at all familiar with the quality and leather goods their boots are made up then you’ve got to understand their asking price and not be turned off. So we’ll flat out tell you, it’s $498. But “why,” may you ask? Because this knee-high riding-style boot from Frye features a detailed woven shaft and collar overlay. And other nice details include hidden elastic at the collar for fit and flexibility, double pull-up tabs, and a multi-colored stacked heel. For all of that is why the asking price for the leather crafted boot sits at that price. Plus, we think it’s worth mentioning that or the ever-changing temperature ahead you can wear them with tights or jeans and get more months’ worth out of them then you think. Craftsmanship comes at a price, but one that takes you into years and years of wear.

Sanita Clog Boot: Trinette

by

Now this last Sanita style (just for this week, don’t worry, if have one more comin’ in the near future. . .) has goin’ co0-coo for clog boots. This beautiful rusty-color (note: in person it is more rusty red than rusty brown) boot takes leather to the MAX–and we love it. The full leather shaft gives the “Trinette” boot something to call its own. Never have we seen a clog boot in this color and in so much fine leather material. Just doesn’t happen, so we had to get it for the store. It’s simple just like Sanita does it right with the leather stapled to the wooden sole, the craft alone on this boot makes you want to spend the $275 to call it your own. Think of it: with tights, with dark denim, with a chunky big sweater, just think, of it as yours. We’re completely 100% for this boot. And for Sanita as always.

Sanita Clog Boot: Adea

by

Well, we’re veryyyy happy to announce that our full Sanita shipment has been sent and has finally finally arrived! Our new clog brand for the season, it holds up to only the most traditional Danish standards (while the shoes are actually made in Poland) and to timeless quality for a shoemaker. One of the first, original clog makers, originating in the early 1900s, Sanita clogs are something all together special. For instance, for every tree they use to make their classic wooden soles and heels, they will replant another one. Now there’s a brand that’s eco-conscious.

All week long we’re going to feature our new Sanita styles, and first up, is the Adea boot. A rich black suede and leather combo, the boot has a comfortable slouchy feel around the calf and a leather bow-tie to top it off (note: it’s not a drawstring). For such high quality and boot perfection, the $225 price tag, is completely worth it. It’s the first of many clog boots to come this week!

New Brand, Vintage Shoe Co.

by

Our newest brand, Vintage Shoe Company, which we just can’t get enough, has us calling ourselves “suckers” all over again for their Congo boot style that we have for both men (called the Vincent, $245) and women (called the Vanessa, $235). Modeled after the Congo boot style worn by train engineers during the railroad boom of the 1800s, this rough n’ tumble boot has some great extra ankle padding and the hardy leather sole. Get on the real train, and wear the Congo style and a brand that sports real ol’ fashioned American spirit, made the U.S. of A way.

New Brand Alert: Vintage

by

Everybody these days is running amuck trying to figure out how to get their hands on something vintage it seems. And current contemporary brands are trying desperately to try and reconfigure their designs to appeal to this vintage aesthetic. Vintage is definitely IN and whether it’s legit vintage (I’m not sure we still have these qualifiers for the legitimacy. . .) or not, it’s a trend people want to be in on. But there are some great things to come out of this vintage mayhem,  and we found it in the brand, Vintage Shoe Company. It’s a brand new brand for us this season, but one we’re probably going to stick with for awhile if only for their made-in-the-U.S.A. durable quality.

That’s right. How often do you find a sturdy U.S.-made boot these days? Not often enough it seems. But the “Lilly” chukka boot below carries on many fine U.S. traditions, the first of the chukka origins: from the polo fields of the 1800s, it’s a sporty boot, hand crafted and treated with an aged, timeworn patina. With leather laces too, this boot is made to last and made to wear in so well for the season. It may look vintage, but it’s brand new and for $265, which only gives you satisfaction that this boot will last you for years, and not just for the vintage trend stretch of time.

Dare to Wear The Adair

by

Want to go a lil’ military this season, but not quite all the way? Add some edge to your look with the hidden wedge and with 80%20‘s “Adair” boot. It’s tough but not too tough we think. The distressed look keeps coming back time and time again on shoes, and the Adair does it nice. The Adair is structured and is all around easier to handle with the wedge. So it’s really not that hard of a dare to take on, except maybe the price. . . $204. If you can dare to spend the bones, then you’ll be wearing the Adair, daring everyone else to copy you.
