Bespoke Shoes
A something-in-between shoe. It is a mixture between a derby, oxford, a mule with a back, and a platform. It was created on a last based on my feet measurements. Lamb burgundy leather for the top, and black lamb leather for the lining. I chose burgundy stitching as well as yellow thread for accents.
