Maiden voyage today. The shoes feel like new. The crespino sole protectors and heels give great traction. The colour is a chocolate brown and really shows in the natural light.

This pair will get called a lot. The fit is great and the look is versatile enough for both casual and work.

Man I love that purple welt!

I was planning a trip to Buffalo and caught wind of this guy. That sole-job looks fantastic. I understand that he might also sells shoes. Does anyone happen to know if this is the case and what type of selection he might have? Not sure if it's all vintage/used stuff that's he's restored.

The last time I chatted with Brian, he was selling Berwick shoes from Spain:

Berwick 1707

These are brand new. And yes, he also sells vintage shoes that he has rebuilt.

He also won several medals including SSIA gold this year in competitions with fellow cobblers. His work is top notch.
