There are many unseen processes behind a pair of shoes to ensure the quality
Gradually and carefully - made shoes have an unique soul with 100% real leather (cow leather or sheep leather). The process of making a pair of shoes BY HAND is more complex than many people think. The shoes we make are different from other shoes on the market (made by factory machines). The shoes in our shop are made carefully from the very beginning, from the selection of the materials (upper, lining, midsole, outsole) to the highest standards. Explore more in our story.
Beyond Design: The Hidden Art of Crafting the Perfect Shoe Tree
I kept improved the shoes in all the ways every year. Because every time I release an updated version, I will stop selling the old version even though Backlogged inventory and lost a lot of money. I want to ensure my customers always receive the best and most perfect shoes. So there are mountains of defective pieces stay there that I'm not happy with. In my studio, I've made countless shoe trees, which are essentially the soul of a shoe. Picture two identical pairs of shoes—same design, same materials—but when you wear them, they feel entirely different. I always put a lot of time in developing shoe trees!

Last Updated: September 2025
Some early September orders experienced issues such as the glue lifting slightly around the seams or the painted edge on the sole wearing away sooner than expected.
We took this seriously, very seriously!
As soon as we received these messages, our entire team participated and worked overnight to rectify the issues. You can see the before-and-after comparison in the video. Since completing these upgrades in late September, our newer batches have been performing beautifully, and we’ve received almost no similar feedback since. If you ever need assistance with your order, our team is always here to help. ❤️
Fast shipping because i ordered during july.
First impression : nice quality and texture, comfortable shoes but you definitely need to « break them in » and be aware of blisters (specially behind the ankles).
Me encantó el producto, tenía un poco de miedo porque soy muy delicada del pie, y tengo los botines tabis de Margiela y son muy cómodos. Y no sabía cómo serían estos, pero me sorprendieron mucho, porque realmente son cómodos al pisar y amo que tenga esa protección para evitar caídas, el oficio es excelente, ya que tiene buenas terminaciones, llegó a Chile en 22 días, estaba demasiado ansiosa porque quería saber que tal, así que estoy lista para esperar la primavera con mis tabis de Woodchuck Sato. Me gustaría encargas las ballerinas, pero eso será más adelante :) pero no es la última vez que compraré acá, espero que puedan sacar botines con taco de 3 cms en cuero de reno.
i got these pair of shoes and everything about woodchuck sato is amazing! i got the express shipping, and when i emailed to check up on my order they responded minutes after, put a priority rush on my order, and communicated so quickly and professionally. not only that, the quality of the shoes is fucking amazing, real leather and worth the price. i definitely will be shopping back.
I had these customised with a different leather, the process was simple and fast. Everything was made exactly how I imagined, considering it was a custom job I’m super impressed with the time from order to delivery.
the quality is amazing and i love the shoes, the only thing for this style is that it can be a little tight if this is your exact size, id suggest just wearing them around a bit to make them more comfy, i wouldnt size up as it might be flopping off your foot
