*NEW* JEFFERY WEST DESIGNER FOOTWEAR

"Streets away from the pomposity normally associated with ultra-traditional Northampton-produced footwear, this is the place to buy modern shoes and accessories that nod, but don't scrape, to history." - Arena Magazine.

It is often said that a man's shoes are the most important piece of his clothing. If you are wearing the perfect suit, the most luxurious bespoke pair of trousers, even a crisp pair of jeans, if a man is wearing an ugly pair of shoes then a whole look can be destroyed in an instance. According to Bernhard Roetzel writing is his book: Gentleman: A Timeless fashion: 'Certainly, a good outfit and good shoes should go together - for not even the best shoes can be guaranteed to rescue a questionable wardrobe.' Step to the fore Mark Jeffery and Guy West, founders of Jeffery-West and purveyors of seamlessly stylish, meticulously crafted Northampton-produced footwear. A customer will only ever buy a poor make of shoes once, but to buy into Jeffery-West is more than just purchasing a pair of shoes. It is like entering a gentlemen's club, a place you will want to revisit time and time again. The brand is a testament to the old adage that 'style never goes out of fashion'.

Expect a level of luxury and comfort more in keeping with the elegance of the heyday of British shoemaking - the ultimate age of skill and innovation. By using only the best of materials Jeffery-West has developed footwear with traditional characteristics. But each and every style has its own signature 'twist' of originality - hand burnished uppers, pointed lasts, diamond broguing, references to the George Cross, influences form Gothic architecture and its infamous and much copied cleft heel. Underpinning these is the Goodyear Welt - the best method for quality shoe construction yet devised. _________________________________________________________ With most footwear manufacturers farming out ubiquitous styles to be knocked up in the Far East or opting for injection moulded plastic footwear and cemented sole units - with cost durability and branding seemingly driving the footwear market in the 21st Century - it's refreshing indeed to see Jeffery-West's commitment to hand-finishing over computer programming, ornamentation over blandness, and style with a huge degree of substance. After all, it is well worth spending money on a decent pair of shoes.
