When I think of London bespoke shoemaker W.S. Foster & Son I think of superb coloring and shapes that are sheer perfection, like the tasseled casuals in the photo. So I'm happy that, after a year of persuasion and some abject begging by yours truly, Foster's Spring visit to the United States will for the first time extend west of Chicago. Lastmaker Simon Bolzoni will be visiting the following cities on his trip:
New York

Intercontinental The Barclay 111 East 48th St Tel: 212 755 5900
Washington DC
Monday 3rd to Wednesday 5th March 9.00am – 6.00pm

San Francisco

Foster's traditional shoe designs are priced from £1,400 (about $2,800) a pair. That's ruinously expensive of course but, to borrow a phrase, you do get two shoes. I hope you'll join me in welcoming them to the West Coast.

Thanks for the morning shoe porn, Will. That's a beautiful pair of tasseled loafers. I love the finish on the narrow toe box. And the tassels look enormous. There's nothing like a big swinging tassel (BST).
Will,
They are among the most beautiful shoes I have ever seen. I love nice-looking tassel loafers. But a little pricey for me - but the proximity of the hotel to my apartment is tempting me.......
