Jeffery West Shoes

Jeffery West Shoes is another Northampton based footwear design brand of distinction but these guys do go out on a design limb with almost anal detail paid to linings, sole units, punch work and of course the ubiquitous 'cleft heel'. Aspecto love the craftsmanship which this brand undoubtedly exhibits but it's not for the shy, you will stand out in a crowd.
From the outset their intention was that Jeffery West shoes would be imbued with all the craftsmanship, quality, and pedigree available in having shoes manufactured by Northampton factories with hundreds of years of experience, but that to this history they would welt cutting edge styles, overt elegance, fulsome flamboyance, develop innovative new lasts, and utilise an array of leathers and colours, imagination all too often lacking in men's shoes, and particularly in shoes that are so well made they do not go to pieces if you look at them twice. There are those that have criticised Jeffery West for seeming to play fast and loose with tradition but in buying a Jeffery West Shoe from Aspecto you are buying the manufacturing heritage with a Jeffery West slant.

Jeffery West – The Tradition

To show the cloven hoof shows a knavish intention and with all Jeffery West shoes and boots bearing the signature style of a cleft heel since the first collection, their wearers continue to tread a line between respectability and rascality. Similarly, the red of the leather linings that have also always been a feature of Jeffery West Shoes evokes pomp and circumstance but equally revolution, decadence and darker ritual and ceremony. The idiosyncratic Jeffery West design handwriting extends to the smallest detail; the punching is always diamond shaped, inspired both by Gothic and Victorian Gothic Revival architecture, which also directly informs the arrowhead wingtips. In refusing to ride roughshod over either individualism or traditional qualities of craftsmanship Jeffery West continue to cut an elegantly shoed and booted swath through the footwear market and are a firm favourite with our Aspecto customers.
