OK, Is There a Fancy Magazine Devoted To Upscale Men's Shoes From Around the World?

[Jerry52]

I figure there's a magazine published about nearly anything, so I just wondered if there's one devoted to mouthwatering shoes? Can it be found at places like Barnes & Noble or Borders? I'm clearly too obsessed with this!

"Last" and I believe a Japanese magazine or two, but I'm not sure where one would find them.

Go to your local Japanese bookstore and ask them to order this: http://www.esquire.co.jp/last/vol009/index.html

Ummmmm.....I'm lucky I even have a Barnes & Noble or Borders nearby! Golly!

I kinda meant a magazine in English!

Of course great pictures are a universal language, but still, I would want to actually READ information about the shoes...

Then the answer to your initial question is a resounding NO

OK, Sator et al, I don't like to give up, so...

Is there a certain magazine IN ENGLISH AVAILABLE IN NORTH AMERICA which at least has MANY ads from the world's best shoe makers and regular writeups on dress shoes- even though shoes isn't the sole business of the mag...?

 

[Jerry52]

PS- There are AT LEAST THREE coffee-table type glossy-covered periodicals devoted solely to great watches of the world, so I just thought--- NEVER MIND!

Is "Last" in English CoryB, and if so, is it for connoisseurs of great shoes or more a magazine for industry insiders?

Sorry, but your best bet is still Style Forum. Anything after that will be a profound disappointment to you. Classic Style magazine might carry an ad now and then for AEs but you will see infinitely less than what you do on their website.

It would be better for you to just stick in the forum.

The link I posted above was to Last magazine published by Japanese Esquire. It is only published in Japanese.

 

[LeatherSOUL]

Jerry, I wish there were but all my shoe Appreciation are in Japanese. Even if you don't read Japanese, LAST and The World of High End Shoes are great reads for the pictures. There's a new TWoHES that just came out and it's great. Volume 3.

Thanks so much for the advice LeatherSOLE, Sator and acidicboy. You all must know I'm very hooked on and supportive of this forum, but there's a certain creature comfort to curl up on a rainy night and actually flip the pages of a fine magazine or book. Computers and message boards are compelling, but there's a special joy to absorbing information and entertainment the old-fashioned way! Maybe I'll make the magazine girl's day and ask her if she can get in a copy of LAST!
