Mr Hare turns us onto this interesting piece on the increase in high end mens footwear. The piece focuses on how there's a growing change in menswear and that men are now prepared to spend a little more on their footwear. Here's a quote from Mr. Hare about the footwear market.

“The market is there now,” argues Marc Hare, the designer behind Mr. Hare. “In part it is simply a reflection of men loving 3D structural things – next to watches, shoes are affordable craft objects. Blogs have helped raised interest enormously too. But there is also a generation that has grown up obsessed with sneakers that has now grown up too much for them – there’s a sartorial shift towards proper shoes.”
