How a pair is made

Four benches, four pairs of hands, about two days from a roll of leather to a box.

  1. Cut

    Panels are cut from the hide by hand with steel dies, working around the marks so the best leather goes on the toe.

  2. Stitch

    The upper is closed on a post-bed machine: toe cap, quarters, heel counter and lining, about four hundred stitches a shoe.

  3. Last

    The stitched upper is pulled over a wooden last and left overnight to take the shape of a foot.

  4. Press

    The sole is glued, pressed and stitched round, then each pair is cleaned, laced and boxed by the person who made it.
