USA is one of the primary markets for classic quality shoes, and no one has observed it as closely in recent decades than Steven Taffel of Leffot in New York. Here he shares his knowledge on this important subject on this episode of Shoesperk Podcast.
Leffot was established 16 years ago by Steven Taffel of West Village on Manhattan in New York and opened to customers just two decades after digitalization began sweeping across society, specifically shoe retailing. Leffot became one of the first multi-brand stores offering classic welted men’s shoes – and its impact has been felt both among its customer base as well as other stores that have taken inspiration from it around the globe.
Due to Steven’s vast expertise, we discussed in-depth the classic shoe industry in the US and how it has developed, with particular attention paid to Steven’s own journey and experiences in it.
