After researching many different styles of barefoot shoes, I finally found something special. There is nothing like the feel of a truly handmade shoe. The workmanship is beautiful and the classic simple design can be worn anywhere. The leather is buttery soft, the sole is just thick enough to protect the foot but still thin enough to feel the ground, and the laces create an extra personal fit with a nice wide toe box. It was worth the wait to have such a fine pair of shoes that I will enjoy wearing every day. I will definitely be saving up for the winter boots next!!! Thank you for your skill and craftsmanship!!!
