They’ve finally arrived, Occasional Reader!
Remember my search for the elusive yellow patent leather shoes, my subsequent chat with Peter at Squire Shoes, our mental collaboration for their Spring ’13 collection, and finally, his extremely kind offer to have an early pair made for me?
I just know you’ve been eagerly awaiting news of the addition to the family.
I received a message from Squire this morning, advising me of their arrival.
I cancelled my vasectomy reversal surgery, and hotfooted it into Paddington.
When Peter pulled the first one out of its dust bag, I have to admit, my breath actually caught in my throat.
A gorgeous bright canary yellow derby, these babies will be, and deserve to be the highlight of any outfit I’m going to be able to think to pair them with.
I particularly like the lack of brogue detailing, letting the colour and smooth shape speak for itself.
The subtle, but unique contrasting stitching only goes around half the shoe sole, blending into the upper beautifully.
They kind of remind me a little of Docs, but with a much sleeker and dressier look.
I believe the other colours that will be available are going to be red, blue, purple and pink…. and maybe green? I can’t remember because I’m just so damned excited, but regardless, they’re going to be hot!
I truly believe these are going to be a huge Spring hit for Squire, and I for one, will be putting in my forward order later this year for at least a couple of other colours.
In the meantime, I can proudly show off as the owner of the world first, and the ONLY, Squire “Mike’s”.
I have no idea what the actual name is going to be, but Mike’s sound good for at least 6 months.
God, I adore this brand! (As if you hadn’t guessed that!)
Shoes – Squire
P.S. I didn’t really have a vasectomy reversal booked. I kind of like shooting blanks.
