Three Shoe Styles
Cow hide and english calf skin,
embossed, airbrushed, handpainted.
No two pair are the same. |
|
Our intention is to create the most comfortable and
beautifully attractive footwear on the planet.
Each pair is made with love and integrity by our family here in rural
West Virginia.
We choose only the most beautiful full grain, soft and supple cow
hides and exotic leathers for the bodies of those shoes. The English
calf skin that we emboss, air brush and hand paint is the finest leather
available. All of the artwork is done on the leather while it is flat.
The pieces are then glued and stitched together. Next we laminate
an orthopedic mid-filler to a leather insole and stitch the upper
to the insole, soaked in warm water, hand-lasted, and dried in a hot
box where the leather shrinks down onto the foot-shaped last.
We exhibit our work at craft shows around the country including the
Smithsonian Museum and the Philadelphia Museum. Our work has recently
been featured in the Lark Books publication 'Crafting Hand Made Shoes'.
