The Kim is our translation of our best selling classic Sandy made on the same last but in a new method. It is designed to follow the curves of the foot and highlighting the inner arch for a perfect flat for daily wear.

Our new method of shoemaking has a double layer stitched back seam to provide heel structure without gripping the ankle.

Made with our own olive leaf tanned cow leather from the Northern Spain.

These shoes are hand cut and hand dyed, so variations are usual and we believe add to the uniqueness of a handmade shoe.

Character: This leather is part of our gloveskin collection. It is uniquely thin, yet very strong and uniquely pliable. 

If looking to request this leather for Custom Leather shoes, this type of leather is best suited for parts of the shoe with no laces or closures.

Care: This is best conditioned with a good quality liquid saddlesoap. Darker colors can be conditioned or cleaned with a shoe wax as well. Be sure to test a small area prior to using.

This leather is sourced from a family run company in Barcelona. All of their leather is tanned within Europe, using European steer, this particular one is tanned in Italy with strict European standards.

There are inherent variations in natural leathers, handmade manufacturing, and local sourcing.  Color and texture variations can vary within the same hide.  Different monitors can also display colors differently.  You may indicate any preferences in tone or texture in the Notes to Shoemaker section if you are looking for something specific so we can do our best to accomodate.

    Character: This is veg tan cow leather made especially for us.  Like a favorite sweatshirt, this leather is thick and supple with a smooth surface.

    Care: We suggest saddle soap for cleaning and a cream based leather conditioner from a local cobbler is best to keep leather strong.  Make sure to test a small area first.
