Speyers, the netherlands (2025)
An ankle boot with a zip closure, fully bespoke and crafted from deep blue Prada leather. Both the shoe and the wooden last are custom-made in close consultation, resulting in an exceptional fit and outstanding comfort.
The upper is constructed using the refined stitch-and-turn technique, leaving all seams invisible. This creates an elegant yet slightly bold aesthetic, combining sophistication with a subtle edge.
The heel is carefully built up from layers of leather, black stained and hand polished to a high sheen. Beautiful to look at, highly comfortable to wear, and easy to maintain.

Testimonial
What a special gift it was to receive handmade shoes from my husband (what a sweetheart!). With you, it felt like I was getting almost a complete course in shoemaking as well. You speak about your craft with incredible passion, and that enthusiasm is truly contagious. I came to our appointments with growing pleasure and curiosity each time. As a result, my enthusiasm for shoes has only grown. I greatly admire your precision and perseverance when tackling difficult tasks. As I’ve written before: you are not only a skilled craftsman, but also a true artist. Thank you for this fascinating journey!
