It’s not an easy task, picking out a pair of shoes as a gift. When it involves a lady, the best advice is usually to choose something she’s already picked out. In the event of a gift for a gentleman, if you are considering shoes as a gift, it might well be because he needs them. Think of this gift as a gift for both of you. He gets a well fashioned, comfortable, crepe sole chukka from Lifetime Collective, while you get to toss away his ratty old sneakers. This gift gives both ways.

Boogie on a budget? Check out just a few Generic Surplus shoes that will soon be available at Acrimony.
Hey boys, put these on your feet.
We don’t sell men’s shoes yet, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t cop yourself a good pair elsewhere. Some of these are only available overseas, GAH.

It’s Spring Madness. New dresses, flowy tops, sunhats and hairbands to prepare yourself for the warmer months. But let’s not forget your most important accessory. SHOES.
Peep the 3 new LD Tuttle styles to just hit the store:
LD Tuttle. The Ring in Mold. $564
LD Tuttle. The Web in Mold. $444
LD Tuttle. The Neon in Black. $550
As much as I’d like to wish that $600 pairs of shoes were feasible on a weekly basis, I am a realist and know that no matter how much you love your zapatos, $600 is a spluuuuuurge. They should we well planned out purchases, spent on something you are absolutely dying for. Rich or poor.
So what about the fun stuff? The fashion-y trendy stuff that fills the gaps between the LD Tuttle’s and the Miu Miu’s? Introducing Jeffrey Campbell. Platforms and flatforms and all the in-betweens to fill the “I want something new, NOW” feeling.
Here are just a few pics of what to expect in the coming months:
Gah!
Oh.
My.
God.
You guys. They’re here. We’ve honestly been going crazy waiting (and obsessively watching the UPS tracking) for our first season of shoes and I think you can see why. LD Tuttle’s shoes are jaw-droppingly gorgeous and totally different. No boring basic pumps here; only lovingly crafted shoes hand made in Italy and designed in New York. We’re sorry we made you wait over two years for us to start carrying shoes, but believe me — it was sooooooo worth the wait.
From left to right: The Lean, a leather wrapped clog with a back buckled strap; The Split, a strapped sandal with deceptively dainty-looking suede mesh inlay; and The Weave, a show-stopping heeled boot with textured and smooth leather panels and a center back zip.
From left to right: The Shifter, LD Tuttle’s ultra-clever transformable boot that goes from a tall boot to a super easy-to-wear short boot; and The Push, our favorite boot of the season, which features a wrinkled leather upper that you can pull or push to style as you please and an insanely tall wedge platform.
Now, ladies of San Francisco, you have to promise not to fight each other over these, okay?
Hello People~
These Generic man shoes have been stomping around in my head for 2 weeks now. I’m obsessed with the cognac wingtip with Vibram sole. A bit chunky, a diversion from the super skinny/low profile oxfords that have been stealing the scene for so long. Slightly reminiscent of a Visvim shoe I was in love with (until someone started wearing it and it became my most hated shoe), wears a bit like a Red Wing but NOT A REDWING. Italian made, lightweight, pebbled leather and most of all, a refreshing style for the gentleman.
And then there’s him. More Vibram sole but with a thick canvas upper. One piece top panel, white trim, perfect for warm weather shorts and tee’s. Hopefully these will be sitting in our shop for you to see next Spring.

Are you as excited about F/W shoes from LD Tuttle as we are?! I for one, cannot wait. We just received word of a short video produced by Zen Sekizawa, featuring an Olympic rhythm gymnast. Clearly, don’t try this at home with 5 inch heels on. But if you do, please send us the link.
Check out the video HERE.
I live in anticipation. I feel excited, overwhelmed, anxious, and exuberant at the thought of having these pieces sit in the shop. There are so many amazing items/designers/concepts happening for Fall. Even with my new camera, I suck at capturing the reality of some of these treasures. But I tried my best to keep my cool while celebrating my first venture into footwear for the shop.
Enter…LD Tuttle @Acrimony for Fall 2010.
People, yes, it’s OK to gasp in pleasure.
“The Push in Vapor.” This boot has a steady platform and moderate pitch, modestly speaking considering your nose will be smelling the air of alter elevations. The soft nappa leather can be scrunched at the ankle or pulled high and fastened with velcro.
“The Weave in Black.” Combat style lace-up with mis-aligned eyelets for a unique design up the front.
“The Lean in Black.” A clog. A super rad platform clog with an adjustable buckle sling back. If you don’t already own a platform clog you need this one. Even if you do, you still need this one.
“The Split in Vapor.” Suede mesh sandal that engulfs your foot like a glove. It feels Balenciaga without the extra zero at the end.
“The Shifter in Black.” A unisex boot that can be worn folded over as a short boot or unfolded as a tall shafted boot. Genius.
“The Gather in Black.” Another repeated style from past seasons…good enough to keep around FOREVER. Unisex for all.
