Making HANDMADE Classic Wholecut Oxford Shoes in Black Calf Leather
Ken Kataoka
@ken_kataokaAbout
I craft fully handmade gentlemen's shoes in my workshop in Tokyo, Japan. My craft is guided by three ideals: "Harmonious form," "Neat edges," and "Construction built to last." On this channel, I share the process of realizing these ideals through traditional techniques—hand-lasting, hand-welting, and hand-sewing.
Video Description
This pair was made especially for a close friend’s wedding. He was hoping for something a bit lighter and more flexible than usual, so I chose a special construction — combining hand-sewn welted and Blake (Mckay) techniques — to make something that would feel just right for his big day.
