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!
