I've always wore Keen boots practically all of my adult life, and almost always the same type: the…read moreTarghee model, and have had nothing but great results wearing it in almost all situations around the world: walking hiking and exploring in Palma de Mallorca, the too-many streets and calles of all parts of Spain, in Sweden and Norway, the hot streets of Morocco and Alexandria, Egypt and the pyramids, Germany, and in other places/cities like up and down too many streets of New York City, and too many other countries, as I love hiking and walking any and everywhere, and in all sorts of extreme weather! For example: in London alone in the early 70s, I walked 10miles to see the Tower Bridge, then walked back to a rented room. In Mallorca, I took the tren to Puerto de Soller, saw a mountain, then climbed it and snapped a pix, then discovered, oh, there's a road! I've been wearing Keen boots for more years than I can remember. So recently when the lug that holds the shoelace cracked in half, I looked high and low online for a shoe shop that could fix my boot. Finding this little shop wasn't too much of a problem, and after giving him the shoe, he looked at it, then simply asked when I wanted it done. If you want it fixed tomorrow, then it will be done tomorrow. WoW!! I was impressed! I'll be picking it up in a few days. Will update when it's picked up in a few days! UPDATE: Perfect work done and very quick! I told him when I dropped it off that I'll pick it up over the weekend, about four days later. He said okay. Actually I think I went during a chore to pick it up on Wednesday; not only was it ready, it looked as good as new! Impressed and happy were the emotion felt upon seeing the shoe!!

I have a few pairs of Louboutins, and being in Buffalo, that means no one else is able to "vibram"…read morethe bottom (putting on rubber sole bottoms to prevent slipping) and still retain the special red color. I was told by a friend that Transitown did them and has the red color paint to match the Louboutin red bottoms so that they look nice. I've brought 3 pairs there so far and they have done a pretty good job. My problem with this place is that they seem to always jack up the prices when it's a pair of expensive shoes. I know they jack up the prices for Louboutins, because they require a special color etc., that's fine. But when I have brought other shoes there to get the rubber bottoms put on - I would get one price over the phone (because i intentionally do not say what brand they are, i simply describe them as black leather flats, or purple leather wedges etc). The first time I questioned it, they explained it away that since they were louboutins, they cost more because of the special paint etc. OK... fine. The second time I questioned it, they said that whoever took in my order misquoted me, hmmm ok. Well, last week I took 3 pairs of shoes there (a pair of Chanel flats, a pair of Louis Vuitton pumps, and a pair of Ferragamo wedges). I called ahead to get a quote, and was quoted $30/pair for the rubber bottoms (black and nude, no special colors), with $10 for waterproofing. So I figure, $90 for the vibram/rubber bottoms, and $20 for waterproofing since only 2 pairs needed waterproofing. So it should have been $110 total. But nope, when I showed up today I was charged $130. I just paid without questioning anything and left. 3 strikes and they're OUT. I would rather ship my shoes somewhere else and know the costs up front.

Bureau not only sells fancy threads worthy of distinguished gentlemen such as myself, but they also sell exclusively fully customized suits. Head to the shop on Elmwood Ave. for a visit and I promise you'll be impressed. There is a small lounge area where you sit and discuss the design of your new suit that has the look and feel of being in a London flat, as if you just wandered into a snuggery in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Also, said lounge area may or may not have a false wall that leads to a secret room where there may or may not eventually be a speakeasy where men can sit down, whip up old fashioned cocktails and discuss the ways of the world, hypothetically speaking. A pure testosterone kick. I stopped in and met with Joe and Mike on my first visit. I didn't realize how much time I would need, so I came back a second time to place my order. There are a lot of choices to choose from, from the fabric, to the buttons, to the pockets, to the decision of putting something cool and hip for your interior liner, such as floating skulls and your initials, or something more classic. I didn't realize how many subtle nuances could be added to a fully customized suit that not only make you look like a secret agent killer, but also these nuances can showcase that fact you're wearing a custom suit that you just can't get from Men's Wearhouse or Jos A. Bank. Suits they craft here are made utilizing the finest woven wools and other top materials of your choosing (e.g. tweed, cashmere). Expect a 4-6 week turn-around-time, as your personalized suits will be manufactured in Holland. With this level of service and quality, however, comes a price: two-piece suits start around $700-$800 and three-piece suits start around $1300. If suits aren't your fancy, Bureau also sells fully customized jeans, dress jackets and even leather goods, such as shoes and handbags, but the suits are Bureau's staple. My thoughts? Go to Bureau now and "suit up" like Barney Stinson. It will be "Legen...wait-for-it...DARY!"

I did my initial consult with Mike, and while I thought I had a good idea of what I wanted going into the appointment, the customization options were endless. Mike was super knowledgeable and down to earth, and really helped me narrow it down based on my vision. I opted to get the wedding suit package, that came with a three piece suit, custom dress shoes, white dress shirt, socks, knit tie, suspenders, and pocket square, and it's definitely worth the money. When I returned for my fitting and put the suit on the for the first time, I knew right away I never had a suit look and feel so good. Definitely will be returning to stock up on more suits with these guys. They're a riot, and the product is top notch.
