For Rives, there&#8217;s no single must-have model, and there&#8217;s a reason why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you walk through the door of our flagship store, <strong>the first thing that jumps out at you is the silhouette, the harmony<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, of course, your shoes are not &#8220;outside&#8221; your silhouette: they&#8217;re an integral part of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why today we&#8217;re going to <strong>discuss the importance of tailor-made shoes in the male silhouette<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in the process, we&#8217;ll give you a few tips on how to choose the pair of shoes that will set you apart&#8230; and fit you like a glove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TAILOR-MADE OR MADE-TO-ORDER SHOES: THE RIVES PHILOSOPHY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Expert in made-to-measure shoes, this may not be the first sector you associate Rives with, and we can understand you: <strong>we often communicate more about tailor-made suits<\/strong> as well as wedding suits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But over the years, we&#8217;ve come to realize that our added value goes beyond simple fabric advice: we work with you from head to toe to design your silhouette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order, we focus on your silhouette, then refine the work with details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Details are really what allow us to play according to your desires: details to balance, <strong>details to make a silhouette more formal or more fashionable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what about the shoes? They&#8217;re no exception! Shoes are not a separate component of a good men&#8217;s Outfit: the silhouette is a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not just the suit on one side, and the shoes on the other, or the hat, gloves and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First impressions are everything, not scrupulous analysis of every detail: like us, you know people who carry between 5 and 7 beautiful pieces with them, but unfortunately, these pieces don&#8217;t play together but against each other.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top has-padding-right has-padding-left has-no-margin is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THE EVOLUTION OF MEN&#8217;S FOOTWEAR: NO REVOLUTION YET?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If we look at a men&#8217;s wardrobe from the 1960s to the present day, it&#8217;s obvious that <strong>footwear has evolved at a slower pace than the rest of the wardrobe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, for our very wise customers and for men who don&#8217;t yet dare to take risks when dressing, the choice is relatively limited:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; <strong>sneakers for evenings and weekends<\/strong><br\/>&#8211; and richelieu or oxford for daytime, neither too round nor too pointed, normal, all-purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In plain English? A choice of shoes that doesn&#8217;t say a word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be a choice, of course, to blend in, to be invisible, like Bateman declaring <em>&#8220;Because I want to fit in&#8221;<\/em> in <em>American Psycho<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Rives, we are aware that <strong>footwear has not yet fully emancipated itself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We admire our customers who try to combine different styles, mixing casual and formal? And yet, often, even for them, a shoe is still a shoe, and shoes are no laughing matter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this, despite the existing offer, despite attempts to relax the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some brands have made their mark and continue to do so, but the evolution of the shoe remains slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your father had good taste and took good care of his shoes, you&#8217;re probably wearing the same shoes he wore 20, 30 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ah, how proud he looked in his suit!<strong>(which, by the way, has evolved, unlike the shoes<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The verdict, 30 years later: in the 80&#8217;s and 90&#8217;s, shoulders were too wide, Trousers were too baggy, the silhouette was all over the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, the suit is back in style, but the shoe has changed very little.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-105-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-105-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-105-800x534.png 800w, https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-105-500x333.png 500w, https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-105-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-105.png 1480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-106-1010x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-106-1010x1024.png 1010w, https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-106-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-106-800x811.png 800w, https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-106-493x500.png 493w, https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-106-768x779.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-106-1515x1536.png 1515w, https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-106-2020x2048.png 2020w, https:\/\/www.rives-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-106-50x50.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1010px) 100vw, 1010px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top has-padding-right has-padding-left has-no-margin is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT IF COVID-19 MARKED THE RELAXATION OF THE DRESS-CODE?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When the big American banks drop the tie and then the jacket, it&#8217;s the suit that&#8217;s <em>out<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has had an impact on sales: <strong>since 2010, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leparisien.fr\/societe\/les-ventes-s-effondrent-le-costume-au-placard-11-11-2019-8190630.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the suit market<\/a><\/strong> has <strong>been on a downward slope<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As your style becomes more casual, as your wardrobe becomes more modern, it seems difficult to keep shoes that are highly codified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our mission: to make them more contemporary, more versatile, in the same way we&#8217;ve infused the spirit of costume over the past 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AND THEN&#8230;

There are our parents, our upbringing, prejudices, taboos.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing your tailor-made shoes, start by not thinking about your mother, father or partner.

Your father, perhaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoes are unfortunately the forgotten part of the Outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our customers come to us for the suit, but we realize that the shoe, the <strong>foot, is often forgotten<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they seek our advice, they often leave with an order of shoes, because the Outfit is a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The problem <\/strong>we identify, as experts, is often linked to <strong>the combination of different universes<\/strong>. Trousers, for example, are becoming the norm. More and more often, they are short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But those short, slightly high-waisted Trousers, maybe Double pleated, with a bit of volume: if you wear them with pointy-toed shoes, they&#8217;re not going to fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the contrast between the Trousers and the shape of the shoe is reminiscent of old bootleg jeans and troubadour shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our know-how encompasses the entire men&#8217;s wardrobe<\/strong>: this enables us to ensure harmony and balance in all our customers&#8217; Outfits, to convey the image they wish to
