The reality is, picking up a pair of Esquivel Shoes, you may not be able to afford any others this year. With the significant price tag though comes quality that is unrivaled in footwear. All of the products produced by Esquivel are made in limited quantities, but when investing in hand-made shoes, sourced from the finest tanneries in the world, you may be better off getting your pair made just for you.
Esquivel’s Made to Order Shoes can become yours one of two ways. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, you can stop by their show room and be sized on site. If you aren’t local, they will send you samples to try on. After you pick the materials and style, your footwear will start production – and in 6-9 weeks customized, handcrafted, leather shoes will be your new prized possession.
While we respect and appreciate wearing your new, very high end shoes with your regular streetwear like skinny jeans and premium tees, we think a higher echelon of wear is necessary. Brands like Ball and Buck, Scotch & Soda and A.P.C. offer cleanly styled pieces, with not too much accessory, perfect for pairing with premium shoes.
