A workboot prototype developed with the objective to create an artisanal quality, 100% leather boot at a reasonable price. With this goal in mind, an innovative pattern design eliminates the need for a lining and reduces stitching and gluing to a minimum.

“My main idea was to have a shoe made of 2 different and separable pieces.
In the beginning I was thinking about having 2 different uses for the 2 parts,
like having an inside part that could be a waterproof shoe, that you can take to the sea, and an outside structure that will contain it to walk on all kind of ground, country or urban surfaces. It turned out that it was also interesting to just think about it in terms of comfort. The inside part would be like a “sock-shoe”, close to the foot like a comfortable second skin, and the second part protects it from the outside and hard ground. I think this idea leads to a lot of possibilities, playing with a contrast of materials, leather can give it the “classic” side, but it could be replaced by an elastic structure as well, inside could be cotton but also leather, or neoprene to follow the first idea, wool or other natural materials, depending of the season you want it for….to be continued ! ”

This shoe is made up of three interconnecting parts: the uppers, made up of two pattern pieces, moulded to shape and attached to the sole with a few stitches, the opening cut out of the middle becomes the backstrap. The foot bed slots into the sole and moulds to the wearer’s foot providing support for the arch. The sole shape provides protection where the foot has most contact with the ground. All 3 parts can be made of different materials and interchanged as required without the need for adhesives. All the pattern pieces tessellate ensuring minimum waste of materials.

Shoe used to be one, the same shape for left and right foot. Now it is the time to go back to what is truly natural to us. The concept is creating a shoe that you can put on with your left or right foot, and the shoe transforms and adjusts to your foot shape. These interchangeable shoes reduce the balance dominance and support the neutral walking experience. It is like walking without shoes. Feel the earth and feel the nature. Imagination walks

As a shoe designer and shoemaker I know how many components you need to make a shoe. Usually all these components are made from different materials, which are then glued together. To recycle a shoe like boots, sports shoe and any other type of closed shoe is simply impossible. So my idea was to make a shoe that you can easily take apart, so that you can recycle all different materials that the shoes are made of. So the challenge is to make a shoe that doesn’t contain a drop of glue.

This shoe is inspired by the simplicity of several patterns like
traditional kimono, collar of a shirt, or the hem of a trouser.
The project is to create an inexpensive shoe using leather only for the
parts that need it. The construction is understandable by everybody, a
simple piece of fabric like a collar around the sole.

The starting point of this shoe was the observation of the joints of the foot.
4 lines correspond to these joints. So I wanted to design a shoe that respects them, a structure close to the foot while leaving the comfort for the toes. Although very technical, I also wanted a shoe very elegant and simple.
The concept is a “chausson” and a sole made in one piece in a recycled plastic and from sustainable development. This moulded piece has lines where the thickness of material is reduced to the corresponding lines of the joints. Around this shoe a skin in leather is added with laces to keep the foot on the top and back of the shoe as the shoe boat.
The shoe is monochrome; his identity is by its design, its characteristics and functional lines, and especially by the contrast of these materials.

DER REIZ, STIMOLO.
Ma ci torniamo dopo.
Chiedere che cosa facciamo, è non senso.
Noi non facciamo, noi siamo semplice-mente.
Io non credo, …a nulla, semplice-mente
vivo. Noi non facciamo, diveniamo, e diveniamo
sempre più semplici. Quando parliamo di
oggetti, ad esempio una scarpa, mi viene da
dire che la scarpa è niente, non esiste, se
esiste vuol dire che vive nello spazio e nel
tempo, è intuibile. O meglio, la scarpa esiste,
ma il punto è capire in che modo esiste per
darci lo stimolo di definirla bella.
Come diceva Kant, la bellezza non è un
predicato di oggetto. Si può dire che qualcosa
è di colore rosso, ma quando diciamo
che una scarpa è bella, bello non è come
rosso. La bellezza non è una proprietà
dell’oggetto. La bellezza non è qui, il rosso
sì, è nello spazio e nel tempo.
Allora dov’è la bellezza? La bellezza vive
nel sentimento e il sentimento lo esprimiamo
con il gesto. Il gesto è un gesto fatto, ma
non da qualcuno; un gesto che succede
nello spazio e nella materia: il colore per
la pittura; il volume pieno per la scultura;
il suono per la musica; lo spazio abitabile
per l’architettura.
La liberazione è questo gesto, come
se la lingua mostrasse che può dire cose
ancora non dette. C’è l’avvenimento
del sentimento, dell’affetto e diciamo:
È bello! Un bello indipendente dai periodi,
dall’epoche, dalle per-sone, un bello che
non corrisponde a un’età.
DER REIZ, stimolo. Una scarpa, Bella,
prolungamento del Corpo, espressione
di un popolo, fuori del tempo, che si muove
in uno spazio verticale di mondi paralleli.
Una bella…scarpa.
