If you told me that I’d be writing a post about men’s shoes, I would think you were losing your mind. And yet I am having a total fangirl moment over these glorious leather oxfords by Altan Bottier Atelier. Even their sneakers are sexy AF. I was delighted to learn that the staggeringly fashionable atelier also has a small collection of leather goods and women’s shoes (until I saw the price and needed smelling salts). If these delicious things were in a shop window, there’s no way I could walk by without going in and touching them or at least fogging up their windows for a bit. When I next go to Paris, I’d better remember to steer clear.
Altan Bottier’s hallmark is the ability to personalize the shoes’ color and patina. They claim to be able to match any color a client requests. What sorcery is this?
You can join me in drooling over all of Altan Bottier Atelier’s shoes on the firm’s website and on Instagram and Facebook.

Hand crafted is a dying art ….but…no one has feet that shape.

You make a good point about foot shape, but I have natty friends who wear shoes like that and they insist they are comfortable. Like in women’s shoes, the weird shape is mostly extended beyond the toes.

Gorgeous shoes and so much craftsmanship. I love the purple pairs and also that ombre pair in purple/blue. My menfolk are all very hard on shoes and would scuff these to bits. That sets me to wondering whether they sell the polish that matches the colour of each pair of shoes. Or maybe people who spend this much on shoes definitely never scuff them.

I assume if you can afford the shoes, you can also hire people to carry you around in a sedan chair.

Honestly, they weren’t as ridiculous as I expected. Still unaffordable, but not one-percenter expensive.
