Saint Crispin's: The quest for absolute perfection in shoes

“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world” – Marilyn Monroe once said. But you may be sure that goes for gentlemen as well, if not better. That's a fact. And facts do count. Discover the excellence of Saint Crispin's, not know by the masses, but for the connoisseur.
Saints Crispin and Crispinian are the Christian patron saints of cobblers, curriers, tanners, and leather workers. They (he) was beheaded during the reign of Diocletian; the date of their execution is given as 25 October, 285 or 286. So this is what Wikipedia says, and finally makes me understand the brand name. It makes sense.
Once started by Mr. Michael Rolling, then his cousin, Mr. Phillip Car, joined the company. Mr. Rolling went off on his own to start Zonkey Boot and Mr. Car kept Saint Crispin’s, and turned it into what we now know as the Saint Crispin’s of today.

Produced in Romania, located in the Carpathian mountains, each pair takes over 45 hours of production time. They are produced in the classical Austro-Hungarian style, as a basis, but they do not follow this Viennese shoemaker tradition exclusively.
Their style is also understood in Anglo-Saxon regions as well as the Mediterranean, or even German speaking areas. It is the only atelier still producing shoes and lasted shoe-trees under one same roof. Well, how about that ?
So, the best thing to do is to go to one of the trunk shows, where you can meet Mr. Car in person. He can then discuss your feet, or should I say ‘shoe’ in person. That’s always the best, for that 100% fit. He has an extreme good understanding of feet and fit, so that the measuring is perfect. But what is also remarkable is Saint Crispin’s Pet Customized system for measuring your feet.     continue here
