One thing we love about leather items, is that often they come with a story. Just like this pair of "vellies" from our colleague Alecia Oosthuizen. "Vellies or Velskoene have a bit of history about them. The Dutch settlers who arrived in South Africa in the 17th Century are believed to be the first to make Velskoene based on the traditional Khoisan footwear. A strong suede or leather shoe or boot, the footwear was later embedded into the Afrikaaner culture when Velskoene were used for the Great Trek. Today it is still a popular item and worn by all. I’ve had this pair for 7 years now…. and it is still going strong!" Thank you for sharing Alecia! Read the whole interview here: https://lnkd.in/ddjvmRTp #leather #leathershoes #history

#Explainedin60 | Indians’ feet were found to be wider than that of Europeans or Americans. Due to the narrow footwear available under the UK/European/US sizing systems, Indians have been wearing footwear which are a size bigger than required. Many Indians were found to be wearing extra-long, ill-fitted and tight footwear. Click on the 🔗 below to read about the new shoe sizing system proposed for Indians 👇🏽 https://lnkd.in/gUpkV4RG

Simplifying the art of dressing well | Making timeless, effortless style your new normal | Colour, Shape and Style Consultation | Wardrobe Edit | Personal Shopping
Which shoe goes with this dress? I do not take it for granted that just because I know instinctively which footwear to put with every outfit, that you do too.. There are guidelines to follow that help you understand why certain footwear works with certain trouser shapes or hemlines. It's all very well to have an instinct for this but when working with clients who don't have a fashion background, they need clear do's and don'ts to follow! For example, don't put chunky sole sandals with long midi dresses (they will look too heavy), but do wear them with maxi dresses! What have you learnt about which footwear to put with your outfits? What are your burning questions? #Styleadvice #professionalstyle #styleover40 #personalstylinglondon #dreamwardrobe #personalshoppinglondon #virtualstyling # footwearstyling

An autumn jacket is one of the best and most useful clothing investments you can make. These are jackets that can be worn as soon as it starts to get milder and even long into the winter season as one of several layers. Men's jackets among many other styles, can make for perfect autumn jackets depending on their cut, material and lining. Choice of colour depends on what you plan to pair the jacket with. Your choice of footwear is particularly important when deciding what colour of autumn jacket to wear. If you mostly wear brown shoes, we recommend navy blue, green, brown or grey. With black shoes, black, green or grey jackets make for the best combination. #cantarelli #cantarellimadetomeasure

Beached Footwear & Dog Toys. These are found in the beached debris surveys on Sable Island. They are not typical “litter” items – not used and cast aside – but are probably lost or accidentally left behind during beach visits and activities. However, once they get into the ocean, like any other plastic debris (water bottles, yogourt tubs, straws, grocery bags, etc), they will eventually break down into small and ever-smaller fragments.

Lovely service! We desperately need such initiatives at larger scales in India, and indeed in all countries worldwide. This movement isn't just about providing a platform for #repair, #refreshing, and #restore your most beloved shoes, but also about breathing new life into genuine leather footwear. Let's give due respect to the decade-long lifespan of genuine leather shoes, a stark contrast to synthetic or imitation alternatives. It's time to #resole and #upcycle our shoes. This initiative will not only rejuvenate your favorite pair of Goodyear welted shoes or any other construction but also instill the values of repair, recycle, and upcycling. Together, we can make a significant contribution towards reducing landfill waste. #ShoeRevivalMovement #GenuineLeatherLife #RepairReuseRefresh #SustainableFashion #ReduceWaste The Boot Repair Company
Did you know that 99% of leather footwear can be repaired and can last a lifetime? I didn’t until I visited The Boot Repair Company in Leeds yesterday. I enjoyed a tour of their site, to gain an insight on how their operation works. They make it easy to get things repaired, you don’t have to find a store to get your footwear repaired, you can simply ship the shoes to them, and they use the original componentry sourced directly from manufacturers to restore your shoes. They are the official partner of Dr. Martens plc, BIRKENSTOCK, Dubarry of Ireland and Vivobarefoot to name just a few. Their talented team try and repair every type of shoe and their mission is to stop products going into landfill. The company ethos makes all the difference and turns a problem into a positive outcome. We can all learn from their approach to longevity. It’s not the problem that’s the problem- it’s the response to the problem that really counts. Gerald Forbes David Lee Stothard British Footwear Association #sustainability #reuse #rewear

#snsinstitution #snsdesignthinker #snsdesignthinking FOOT WEAR Footwear refers to garments worn on the feet, which typically serve the purpose of protection against adversities of the environment such as wear from rough ground; stability on slippery ground; and temperature. Shoes and similar garments ease locomotion and prevent injuries. Such footwear can also be used for fashion and adornment, as well as to indicate the status or rank of the person within a social structure. Socks and other hosiery are typically worn additionally between the feet and other footwear for further comfort and relief.
