It’s honestly one of the odder, limited selections of goods they’ve put up for any kind of discount. It’s promoted as their Anniversary Sale, and maybe they’ll add more to it, but for now it’s… not a lot to look at.
Ah HA! Spier has in fact added a few things. It’s still not a mega-expansive sale, but when their Blake Stitched dress shoes actually get any kind of discount, it’s very much worth a steal alert.
They hit the undeniable sweet spot for those who simply don’t wear dress shoes daily, yet when they need (or want) a pair of dress shoes, they want them to look really good and feel way better than some big box bargain store junk.
Made from soft and supple full grain leather. Blake stitched in China, so they should be able to be re-soled by a local and knowledgeable cobbler. Lined in leather. Subtle, studded rubber sole so you don’t slip and eat-it on the sidewalk outside of your big interview/meeting/date.
Blake stitched. Soles equipped with a bit of grip.
The shape and style leans more modern. They’re elegant, they’re simple, they stand out from the crowd without shouting.
In terms of fit: Our shoe expert Adam suggests going with your true-to-size Brannock measurement. Just standard D-widths available. Apologies to the wide and narrow footed.
