LEFFOT PUTS BEST FOOT FORWARD

Unless you wear Puma and Nike all the time - there is little to get excited about in the world of Men's shoe stores.    Of course most of us have a few pairs of each of those brands, however there is more to life than cross training and running shoes - at least there should be more in your wardrobe.   This is what makes the arrival of a new Men's shoes store on Christopher Street such a treat.  Leffot is a store dedicated to really beautiful  shoes.    If you know designer fashion, you will know some of the brands -but there might be a few your haven't seen in person.   I should mention though, maybe the best thing about this store is the precise merchandising and focus that is on display.   

 
 Owner and Buyer, Steven Taffel has used the precision of a surgeon in his choices for each coveted spot on the selling floor.   There is no chance for the sensory overload that many of us frequently experience in one of the large uptown boutiques.  Only Seven brands made the cut -  Artioli, Aubercy, Church's, Edward Green, Gaziano & Girling, J.M. Weston, and Pierre Corthay.  Leffot is a beautiful space where you can calmly  admire, and really look at the shoes you are investing in.   They are an investment after all, with price points on the average of $600.  If the price sounds high - once you pick up one of these artisanal crafted shoes - you understand the hours of work that go into every handmade pair.    This location is also a nice alternative to the uptown experience.    

This corner of Christopher has become a little luxury destination.   Directly across the street from upscale fragrance and candle gem - Aedes de Venustas  on one side and facing Lucien Pellat Finet  (known for the most unique cashmere creations )- the location couldn't  get much better.    

What a pleasure to be able to shop downtown for those who don't have an office on Madison Avenue - or a nice thing to do after work when you have come home, removed the suit, and become yourself again! 

Attention Ladies , you now have the perfect spot to shop for the man in your life. (then you can run across the street and treat yourself to little scent for yourself!).  Hop on down to Leffot soon!
