The Oliver Sweeney collection of shoe for Spring/Summer 2010 is broken into two focused collection: “London” and “Goodyear Welted” (the latter best fit for describing a structural technique in build). “The London Collection is a more contemporary range which takes its style influences from the effortlessly cool London scene, washed soles and elegant last shapes are a feature. The collection uses the Blake Stitched construction process and is a new addition to the Oliver Sweeney product offering.”

When two nice guys based in New York get together to produce shoes, you get some of the rare British bits not crafted by Polish people. Both the Longwing Brogue and Suede Cap Toe Patton Boot are made in Northampton, a town known for shoes and being Britain’s 3rd most populated town. Built on a Goodyear welt, they’ve got a red brick sole (the fantastic touch of Mr. McNairy) and will assist in making you look smart. Or “get handsome.” From ACL.

The shop also has another offering from McNairy’s Red Brick Sole and the full line is filtering into other stock lists. Worth a gander as well.
