Stuff to share, stuff I like, things that make me happy, things that bring joy

More new shoe glory...the story continues

the oak room - the room that makes shit shoes look great


Having said that, not all the shoes in this room are shit. Afterall only yesterday, I found myself looking rather longingly at a pair of Nicole Fahri brothel creepers

Heartwarming, comforting, warm and reassuringly solid
The use of old shoe lasts is a genius touch, referencing as it does, the good old days of qualty workmanship, bespoke hand crafted shoes, cobblers that cared. It is an over the shoulder glance at the the glorious handmade shoe days of the past.
Through the space are placed some achingly large solid oak blocks and pewter has been poured into every crack in the wood. It is a heartwarming combination of matierials.
