Meet the shoe artisans; 124

Shoe options for suits are pretty much endless—oxfords, slippers, loafers and while tuxedos are traditionally worn with black patent oxfords rules are (sometimes) meant to be broken. Today’s men are branching out more with their footwear, even if they opt for a tuxedo. 

124 shoes are not for the ordinary and are all about the artisan experience for shoe lovers. They offer a careful international selection and with 40 years of footwear experience; their goal is to provide footwear that fits between luxury brands and mass-market retailers.

Each designed style are made only available in a single size run, so once you’re suited and booted the only other time you’ll see that pair is on another sized foot. 

Their shoes have been sourced from second- and third-generation Italian makers and also unavailable online, which is another exclusive and personal touch to shoe collection.

These guys know their product, and it is as much about their service as it is their collection. If you were looking for something even more exclusive to your shoe collection, 124 offer a Made To Measure service; but make note you need allow 6 to 10 weeks for them to craft your shoe.
