Shoes in Action: My new Bucy's

Arrived: My new Corthay Bucy in Caviar

Latest project, Bucy MTO: Delayed !

At the recent trunk show at Shoes & Shirts, Maastricht (Netherlands) I ordered a pair (like below) of Corthay, model Bucy in Caviar, expected to arrive mid september.

Unfortunately my pair did not pas the final quality check because of imprecise stitching on one shoe.

Of course Pierre decided to make a new pair that meets both our expectations in high quality

My pair is in progress right now with the highest priority and is expected to arrive within 14 days!

..... to be continued .....

Shoe trees: How to insert

There is a bit of a technique but it’s quite simple to master. I’m using the Pierre Corthay Bucy to demonstrate

If the shoes are oxfords or derby’s make sure they’re unlaced, monk straps should be unbuckled. 

Hold the tree at a 45º angle with the outside edge of the tree facing down.

Insert the tree as far as it will go.

Then from the heel push it in the rest of the way.

Next simply push down on the back and you’re in.
