According to The Guardian newspaper, an impressive 72,000 pairs of shoes were brought in for the department's relaunch. In contrast to Barneys' unisex shoe floor, Selfridges' men's-specific department,Tulle Strapless cheapmotherbridedresses with Tea-Length Pleated ... designed by Belgian architect Vincent van Duysen,2013 Collection germanarmyuniforms 1672 Styles. is intrinsically more masculine in a traditional sense: floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors,Jovani designer backpackfactory and celebrity style evening gowns. oak wood panelling and an extensive use of leather, including sofas and flooring, evoke an air of classicism. Leather specialist Bill Amberg, who was responsible for the leather, explained "the idea focuses on the idea of leather on leather - the floor being made of the same materials as the soles of a gentleman's shoes. A separate "salon" is dedicated entirely to driving shoes, the interior of which is inspired by the bodywork of vintage Ferraris.

The New York flagship of upmarket department store Bergdorf Goodman adopted a similar approach when it unveiled its renovation last October. Stemming from practical purposes - previously various types of shoes, such as casual and dress, were split up by floors, and there was an obvious need to consolidate all footwear in one location - the space has adopted the aesthetic of a classic library. The feeling of a gentleman's club, replete with bookshelves, dark timber flooring and panelling, leather couches and marble benchtops, mirrors the slow cycle of men's trends. "Styling doesn't change as quickly in men's as it does in women's," says Mimi Fukuyoshi, the store's vice-president of men's sportswear and shoes. As a result of the expanded space, the stock allocation has doubled, no doubt the result of multiple purchases - "saving the customer from having to take his shoes off twice", as Fukuyoshi says.

As with Barneys, brand exclusives are important to the store's portfolio, making up about 30 per cent of its stock. At Selfridges, sales of men's shoes had more than doubled by March, a milestone it celebrated with a somewhat tacky but commercially successful shoe carnival. Special services, such as studding, customising, hand-painting and monogramming, as well as an exclusive capsule collection by Nicholas Kirkwood inspired by the film Oz: The Great and Powerful, filled the store's Oxford Street windows and dedicated pop-up zones throughout.
