    I was lucky enough to find this amazing horse leather in London, and had just the amount to make two pairs of shoes out of it. They where amazing to make, as this was the first time I've used such a textured leather.
    I hope you enjoy the post :)

    the toe shape reminds me of Devoa and the textured leather looks like Augustas. Awesome shoes.

    However, not really feeling the heel that is sticking out above the sole.

              Hi, thank for your comments :) I will look into a new heel shape to the soles over the next few months as I've been wanting to change a few more things with them.

                Hi nostromodo

                Thanks for your comments on my work I have been making shoes for almost a year now, and have made about 28 pairs to date. That's great to know, i will keep you posted if i have any for sale in the US this year.

                  Hi sinnedk,

                  I can see what you mean, i just wanted to do something in a style i hadn't seen on the market before. Thanks for giving me your thought on the shape

                    Hi Dingenoderjavs

                    thanks . That's cool, i understand. It's something that will get tweaked over time and it's a simple change to make. That's great, i hope they will be in production this year

                      Hi Johngd. They took about 3 days to make and about a day to make the pattern for them and check it with a sample. I have been making shoes for private clients for a while now, and it's something i really enjoy doing.

                        I agree with the above. I always find the bulbous toe box works better on a boot than a shoe.

                        Apart from that I really like them, especially the black pair.

                          I'm pretty sure they're the same pair, it's just the first photo is black and white.

                            Upon closer inspection that's more likely, now to find out how to live life in black and white..
