Notes on shoes and the people who make them

B, D, E and EE mean nothing until you measure the ball of your foot.

Shearling, commando soles, and a workshop that shuts every July.

Brush, cream, rest. Most damage comes from skipping the third step.

The plate is not a spring. It is a lever, and levers need a fulcrum.

A sneaker that patinas is a strange promise. It mostly holds.
