The Houdini in soft chocolate

The Houdini! This is me caving in and doing a sports shoe. Never say never, but when it comes to doing a running/sports/sneaker/trainer shoe, I think I can almost say never... I don't want to say no to comfortable shoes — that to me is not what a sports shoe is — but it is what it has become. I also don't mind casual at all, I love it....But I feel the category of fashion trainers has somehow overshadowed the traditional shoe. Its killing the beautiful long lasting traditionally made shoe.... This shoe boot is on a moccasin construction. You can bend it in half! The crepe latex sole (fully biodegradable) is lightweight. Crepe does wear away and, therefore, the heel is totally replaceable. There is a hidden rope pipping that runs along the crepe edge, making this shoe boot very hard-wearing. I wore these to test out and thought they came up generous in the width, but with wear and a sock, stomping around Paris for 2 weeks, they are actually perfect... .I’ve been stomping across fields in Normandy in mostly these the past couple of years… FIT: Generous in length and particularly in width. Moccasin construction. The look is oversized due to the large crepe sole. Zip does not have to be worn completely closed, as it will stop comfortably along the arch wherever is natural. (i.e. if you have a high arch you should be fine...!) COMPOSITION: Soft crosta Italian calfskin suede upper, veg tan calfskin piping, brass zip end, metal zip, latex crepe sole and heel applied by hand. The insole is shearling lambskin.
