They are a pair I made. The style is called a whole cut as the upper is made of one piece. The leather is veg tanned calf. They are browner then the photo indicates.

"MADE?"

Can you tell us more? Have you been doing this long? How did you start? Are there photos of the process to see?

I admired those when they went up here. It's a very elegant design.

I have been making shoes for 17 years. I could tell the story of how I fell in with a beautiful redhead who served strong drink and woke up on a ship where I was forced to make shoes but nobody would belive me.:rolleyes:

I will take some pics on the next pair I make and post them, Probably in a seperate thread.

I've been following your posts since you started here, I love your work! I'd be very interested to see your range of options available in golden era styled shoes! :)

I like these in a larger size 10.5 so I bought 'em....

Not much wear for the original soles:
