SHOEPORN: The Milton Shoe Company

As you all already know by now, I am a shoe addict. The first step is admitting you have a problem. Sadly, I haven’t gotten past that first step as I keep finding new pairs of shoes to order. But I will admit that with over 100 pairs of shoes (and yes I constantly edit some out), you need to start getting more and more particular with which ones you pick up. I am always on the lookout for the newest shoes or undiscovered brands – there’s no fun just picking up another pair of shoes that everyone else seems to already own. Enter The Milton Shoe Company.

The Milton Shoe company is a new luxury brand of shoes that focuses on quality and not just branding hype. These are well made shoes in classic menswear styles. All of their shoes are made from only the finest whole-grain leathers by the hands of skilled craftsmen in our workshop in Portugal. From the signature green lining and high quality Goodyear welted soles, this brand is all about the details. They even include a cleaning kit and an extra pair of laces with each shoe sold.

As part of their pre-launch they are offering four styles (a Derby, a Chukka, an Oxford and a Chelsea Boot) in limited quantities (only 250 pairs of each) at an introductory price (you save $150). But you need to get on it NOW. Pre-sale ends July 31st.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
