St Crispins are soon to be stocked in Melbourne.
I'll be attending the trunk show for a look only, but will seriously be thinking of buying some St Crispins shoos because l have wanted a pair for years.

They also sell the burgundy shell cordovan longwing from Alden.

St Crispins? Woot! Taking Aus to another level.
I went to an Edward Green trunk show a few weeks, had a great time. I didn't buy anything as I'd done to much on clobber in the weeks before. Had a good chat with the sales man about bespoke shoes which has kinda put me off the idea. Details of which are here; http://rhythmshaker.tumblr.com/post/113013709241/edward-green-trunk-show
Be interested to hear your opinions chaps...
Saw my first ever pair of St Crispins today. They looked to be good quality and were absolutely beautiful. If l can get a good fit l think l might order a green antiqued norvegese constructed wholecut. Actually, l wouldn't mind getting a few pairs of these shoes because the styling in person is really good. I never really liked them until l saw them in the flesh.
They might be almost twice the price of Edward Green, but they are twice as nice too. Definitely want a green pair,a tan pair and a brown pair. No black St Crispins for me this time. Could a red St Crispins also be on the cards?...we shall see.
I tell ya fellas, these types of things keep men awake at night. Very VERY exciting.
The St Crispins l saw had F*CK OFF punched in metal on the soles. I kid you not.
When l order mine l might do F*** Head.
St Crispins also do a MTM last service where they can tweek the lasts and do a trial shoe.

Pretty pumped up about getting me some St Crispins actually. They do very nice browns.
Roughly $2,200. A bit of a ball breaker, but sometimes you've just gotta suck it up and be a man and do it anyway. If you cry about it like a girl you will never own a pair.
