8/26/19: If you told me that I’d be writing a post about men’s shoes, I would have thought 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.

I’m really not sure how to think about this.

They’re fancy leather shoes for fancy gents. What’s not to love?

I will keep these pictures away from my husband. We just discovered that, like ears and nose, one’s feet continue to grow as one ages. None of his shoes fit him now! He needs all new shoes, just like a child at the end of summer.

That’s kind of adorable. Less adorably, I learned that about myself as well. I attributed it to a year in flip flops due to the pandemic, but maybe it’s just aging.
