Adding a bit of color to your footwear steez will do you well. Rather than spending it on your favorite colorway in trainers, consider this proper plain toe shoe from the Florsheim by Duckie Brown collection. They’re made in the USA (for you isolationists) and comes with the expected leather upper and wood heel. They will set you back just under 3 bills but you’ll have them forever. (ff)

Our friends at Valet spends some time with Ilaria Urbinati of Confederacy LA on the new Florsheim for Duckie Brown collection. ” ‘The whole point of a collaboration is to do something different and show a new take on a classic,’ says Ilaria Urbinati, the stylist and co-owner of LA’s Confederacy, who scored a two-month exclusive on the line. The collection includes revamped styles like Florsheim’s signature Riza loafer but Urbinati’s torn on a favorite. ‘It’s between the brogue boot, which looks like something Oliver Twist would wear and kick your ass in,’ she laughs.”
