Why SLO Shoes?
Handmade 100% Leather Shoes
Our designing team prefer to draw by hand, others use a computer. But each finished design will depict the shoe from multiple angles.
The pieces needed to make the shoe are cut from high quality leather then next in theshoes manufacturing process comes stamping. If the shoe is to have perforated accents – such as a brogue – these are marked too. As are the points of the leather that will be stitched together to make a seam.
Now it’s time to remove the last which has been with us every step of the journey. A shank is fitted into the shoe between the heel and front, providing support before the shoes manufacturing process continues.
Our shoes have more layers providing that more durable construction that serves style conscious men in damp climates better! However if wet weather is not an issue,how your shoes are made will be of less importance.
Last stop: the shoe room, This is the finishing department where bespoke shoes receive the finishing touches that set them apart from their cheaper cousins. The shoes are polished until gleaming and, if the style requires it, they are laced up.
Each and every shoe then undergoes a thorough final quality check. Then they’re packaged and shipped to the retailer, ready for a discerning customer – you!? – to purchase and wear with pride.
