This spring the brand new weblog/web site on high quality footwear Stitchdown was began, which primarily focuses on traditional American boots and extra informal footwear. Excessive stage of ambition with diverse and readable posts.
The person behind Stitchdown is Ben Robinson, a New York resident and shoe fanatic, who wished to do one thing extra together with his ardour and began the weblog. In fact, it’s written in English, and Ben writes fairly entertaining and sometimes elaborate. It’s every little thing from shorter shopping for tricks to longer guides and critiques, a bit like Shoegazing in different phrases, though as talked about the main focus is on American boots and extra informal footwear, whereas some costume footwear might also happen.

It’s nice to see new websites rising that write about high quality footwear (for my part there can by no means be too many), along with outdated foxes like me with Shoegazing, Justin FitzPatrick with The Shoe Snob and Mircea Cioponea who runs Claymoor’s Record. One other newcomer weblog that’s admittedly about traditional fashion normally however nonetheless has a majority of the posts about footwear is Misiu Academy, which is written by Stockholm-based Kostas Mandilaris. It often seems new shoe blogs sometimes, sadly it’s frequent for many who run them to tire after some time or don’t have time to proceed, I hope these new ones will sustain the dedication additionally over time.
