„For this boot I had to set up an internal lobby. The leather that we used for the heel is actually not leather that we normally use for shoes. It is leather to make belts, it is much thicker and tougher than shoe leather. Because of the thickness of the leather we can apply a groove, before we apply the stitches and these stitches run through this groove. It looks really beautiful, luxurious and super cool. Apart from the fact that this is a technical challenge and that we even had to adjust the shape of the sole, it is of course... expensive. ‘Can we not use a normal piece of leather?’ ‘Do we really want to apply that groove? Can we not just apply the stitches without the groove?’ At the end ‘the love for the shoe’ won again here in Moergestel. Our technical people have found a way to apply the groove with a laser-cut technique. The boots have a beautiful heel piece. This is without doubt one of our best winter boots. If I was a fashion guru in the fashion world I would call this style ‘City casual’. But of course I am not so it is just a very nice shoe."
