Easter Rose Red shoes finished on the Winter Solstice 21.12.14

I finished these shoes on the Winter Solstice. 2014.

I made them for a local doctor that works in A&E in Aberystwyth. His old Easter Rose Italian leather shoes I made him back in 2002 were looking a bit wrinkled, although there was still wear in them and didn't need repairing yet, he, I guess, fancied a new pair.

I lined them in Cream Connolly leather (The leather that once Rolls Royce, Jaguar and many other luxury cars used for their car seats to line the Italian leather shoes.

He has just walled out in them and is my last client for the year and coincides with finishing my Easter Rose kitchen that I started back in July....Happy Christmas!!!!

Being mid winter I have personally re-discovered my Double leather shoes... My Classic Original Shoes.

For many years now I have tended just to wear my Slip-on Shandals with single leather soles with the Dinky Tyre Soles.

But recently in this damp winter and I guess being 70 years old and mid Winter, I feel the damp and cold coming through the single leather soles and Dinky Tyre Soles.

Of course not wearing socks for over 25 years doesn't help, but now that I am wearing my old black half inch Double Leather soled shoes, my Classic original design, I find there is no problem and they are surprising flexible too.
