Although I have sewn clothing for many years as a personal hobby, cobbling shoes from scratch still felt like such esoteric knowledge. After studying process videos, learning about leather, paints, glues, and ordering the specialty supplies from overseas — some which I found were very difficult to acquire — I put my knowledge to the test.
With a tall shaft, streamlined silhouette, and side zipper, these boots are roughly based off of Rick Owens’ classic Creeper Boot design.
Obsessive information gathering, a deep passion for process, careful attention to detail, and professional-level quality is what I strive for with my projects — whether they are built with leather or code.
