Corthay Men's Formal Leather Shoes - How about the top foreign brand introduction

The rising star of top men's shoes, the founder Pierre Corthay was awarded the title of French master of art, and is the only men's shoe shoemaker to be awarded this title, his hands can be said to have "touched" the feet of Hollywood stars, and the shoes of Dior and Lanvin shows are mostly from Pierre Corthay. The current Sultan of Brunei (Brunei's head of state) once customized 150 pairs of leather shoes in one go, which also made Corthay widely circulated.
 
Pierre Corthay held positions at John Lobb and Berluti, so Corthay's shoes are both gentlemanly and rebellious, especially with Berluti's rebellious fashion. Corthay is unique in that it has given each shoe its own name, such as Dress Boots to Arca Boucle and Brogue Shoes to Wilferd.
 
Corthay, which catches the eye with its polishing process, is like entering a foreign land when entering the store, with bright and colorful colors, which are very eye-catching, and the most amazing thing is the shoe-themed artwork in the store, such as the vicissitudes of ancient trees in the shape of shoes, the fresh and verdant shoe-shaped mountains, and the grinning toe caps, all of which are applauded. On the other side of the store is Corthay's ready-to-wear shoes, the first element of attraction is the design, each pair of shoes has its own unique sense of design, and the classic has rebellious decorations, which are impressive; The second is color, the color polishing process of shoes is perfect, burgundy, charming, fiery red...... All sorts of weird and exotic colors are presented here.
 
Corthay currently also has three businesses: customized, semi-customized, and ready-to-wear. Customization is Corthay's crowning work, its leather from ordinary calfskin, lambskin to rare ostrich skin, crocodile skin, everything, and the choice of color, to Corteay is like entering the dye vat, all kinds of colors as long as you can think of Corthay can be made, its sole craftsmanship is the traditional Goodyear along the seams.
 
Corthay's semi-custom is very cost-effective, with some styles almost on par with ready-made shoes, making it one of Corthay's best-selling businesses. Corthay semi-custom is based on the finished shoe to adjust the upper color, style, leather, lace lining and other details, color change is the unique selling point of semi-customization, a pair of leather shoes can be changed from light to dark five times. It is worth mentioning that the price of Fantômas is the same as that of ready-to-wear shoes, Fantômas has a very special design style, using a complete piece of leather to make the whole shoe, but in the upper half of the design of the semi-double ring to form the wing part, the connection is smooth. What also sets Corthay apart is its Sculpted toe design. The Sculpted toe design is to add an indentation design like a olecranon on the toe, plus patine polishing process, fashionable and ingenious, you can try it when customizing.
 
Corthay's ready-to-wear business started in 2001 and offers more than 20 styles of leather shoes to choose from. The most iconic of the finished shoes is the Arca, the best-selling model in the world and the one that Corthay won the Grand Prix d'Art Française. Named after Pierre Corthay's grandfather's sailing ship, Arca, to commemorate the voyage with his grandfather, Arca is a sentimental collection. Inspired by trains from the 60s and 70s, the two-hole design, streamlined design, reverse lacing, and high comfort complete all the ideas of Arca. The new camel leather collection, which was opened exclusively for the new counter at Dubai Mall in Dubai, features Arca as the first shoe to be used, which is a testament to Arca's heritage. In addition, the Bel Air series of shoes with rectangular toe points are also a good choice.
 
For shoe sizes, Corthay's focus is on a widened design called "the pullman", which is 5mm wider than the regular model, providing better comfort for men with high insteps and flat feet. In terms of buying stores, the prices of mainland stores are lower than those in Hong Kong, and there is finally a brand that can be bought at a low price without going to Hong Kong, and there is a specialty store in Xinguang, Beijing.
