Today Fin attended the Women of The Year lunch, joining a handpicked selection of women, all of whom have achieved something of significance.
As well as being a great recognition of Fin’s success as a shoe maker and business woman, the lunch also provided an opportunity to meet many inspirational women from all walks of life.
Here is Fin at the lunch with the inspirational Katie Piper.

The Fin’s AW11 Collection
Although the collection officially launched last week, this week we have been able to see the collection displayed in our showroom in all of its glory. We have grown particularly fond of the Bobby and Cooper. If you would like to book an appointment to come in and view the collection for yourself please do give us a call on 0207 352 0066.

Steve Martin
There has been somewhat of a Steve Martin revival in Fin’s HQ this week. When a divide in the team emerged after a discussion on whether Martin was the ideal man, it seemed like the only sensible thing to do was to order Steve Martin goods from Amazon. Hence a delivery of the Father of the Bride box set and An Object of Beauty (Martin’s novel)
We know what we’ll be doing this weekend!
The Introduction of Insoles
Longstanding Fin’s fans will be pleased to hear that we have begun to sell replacement insoles, suitable for your beloved Georges, Marshalls and Amalfis. Pep your Fin’s up after a long summers wear with a pair of new insoles and give them a new lease of life.

Missing Sally
With Sally away Fin’s has been missing a vital part of the team this week. With nobody to turn to for lunch and dinner suggestions Fin and the team have had to fend for themselves. We will be relieved when Sally returns Monday.
Autumnal TV Disappointment
With both X Factor and our beloved Downton Abbey getting sillier with every passing week, we are starting to consider the possibility of going out on a Saturday night. Although, the X Factor USA is rather gripping…
To help celebrate the launch of the Fin’s AW11 collection we have asked a few of our most trusted bloggers to give us their take on their favourite shoe from the collection. First up is Emily Bihl from Rye & Rivet, a fellow girl in the world of mens style.

Emily, What is your favorite shoe from the Fin’s AW11 collection and why?
I love The Jacob Desert Boot. It has a clean, practical silhouette that’s well-suited for wintry weekends, but the unique colorway choices add enough visual interest to make it perfect for dressing up on special occasions as well.
How would you style it?
I’d pair the Jacob boot with a pair of slim-cut raw denim jeans, a natural leather belt, a crisp button-down and an olive corduroy jacket.

Where would you wear it?
The great thing about the Jacob boot is that it can go anywhere– into town for errands, out to dinner with friends, even to a concert. But the color choices feel so perfect for Fall that it’d be a shame not to wear them on a hayride or at a pumpkin patch.
Who do you think the Jacob man is?
Jacob is outdoorsy, but he also knows how to pull a great look together for a night out. He’s low-maintenance but always looks effortlessly sharp. And, of course, he knows quality.
What’s the best thing about Autumn apart from the Fin’s Collection?
The warm, smokey smell of a bonfire in the evening.

Thanks Emily!
After weeks of waiting, the two things we have been wishing for have finally arrived.
The new Fin’s collection and the Autumnal weather to wear it in.
For those of you who haven’t had a chance to look at the new collection yet, its available right here
Introducing…The Cooper Brogue
One of our favourite styles from the new range, the Cooper Brogue, is made from Italian leathers and hand stitched in Portugal. We love the Cooper’s versatility; this is a shoe that will take you seamlessly from work to a date.
The Cooper, £185.00
Introducing…The Bobby
The Bobby represents the perfect work shoe. It’s an easy to wear, classically smart, leather slip on. We can imagine the Bobby striding through city boardrooms throughout the world. Available in both classic black and a deep brown, the Bobby will fit seamlessly into any mans working wardrobe.
The Bobby, £177.50
Introducing… the Drummond Slipper in Patent
The Drummond Slipper in Patent certainly wins the prize for the most fabulous shoe of the AW11 collection. Shiny and bold, this evening slipper is most at home in a fabulous bar or restaurant. We can’t wait to see how our Finsketeers will style it.
The Drummond Evening Slipper in Patent, £175.00
Introducing…The Marshall in Bute Navy
One of our most popular styles, the Marshall, is back for AW11 in a classic Navy shade. We adore this shoe and think it will quickly become a favourite amongst our fans.
The Marshall in Bute Navy, £135.00
