Let the soling begin.

All the inner structural work is done, now for sole work. I never know if I’m talking about shoes or about life.

I spent the better part of a year making and remaking, half making and trouble shooting this design.
I tried different leathers for the lining, structural materials, the upper, the sole. Different construction techniques. I wore them and made adjustments and wore them some more.
I didn’t do any of this with the idea of making a product or to sell something. I did for the integrity of the work. I did it because I wanted to make something I was really proud of, something that impressed me every time I put them on.
My personal pair is now 7yrs old and I wear them almost daily. I have replaced the rubber bottoms on the soles 3 times but sole leather is still original.
While our most popular product is now the Asher boots, these are still my go-tos.
In life, for me, I find that the work itself is the rewarding thing, not so much the outcome or the finish. It’s the process that makes something of immeasurable value or quality.
Keeping some finished boots and shoes close by helps me remember that the work does indeed have an end.
