Handmade Shoes From Quality African Leather
The art of shoemaking is an age-old tradition involving skilled craftsmen. At the heart of every handmade shoe is a story woven into the intricate details and unique character of the piece! We believe owning a pair of shoes crafted by hand is spectacular, as they promise unparalleled quality and durability.
How is this quality kept consistent? Nguni leather, made from the hides of African cattle, is a leather revered for its hardiness and strength. With these exceptional raw materials, our local South African suppliers can craft truly remarkable handmade shoes that not only look beautiful but withstand the test of time! Nguni leather is not only resistant to water and other elements but has also proved to be extremely lightweight and flexible, ensuring the shoes made from this leather mould perfectly to your feet – making it one of our favourites. This leather has a look and feel that is truly one-of-a-kind.
Partnering With The Best
Crafting a pair of leather shoes is an intricate process that involves the unique techniques and tools of an experienced shoemaker. Every stage is executed with the closest attention to detail, from selecting the perfect type of leather to cutting and punching the intricate patterns, to sewing and assembling all pieces with the utmost care.
The process can be lengthy, but the result is beyond worth it! This love for handmade shoes is what drives Peace of Afrika to partner with trusted, leading local suppliers in South Africa. We believe that by finding the best, we can consistently bring our UK clientele products they can cherish.
We only source our leather from ethical and sustainable sources to ensure that our shoes are made in a responsible manner. This commitment to ethical sourcing ensures that our shoes are of the highest quality and are crafted in a way that respects the environment.
Finding The Right Pair of Handmade Shoes
When purchasing a leather shoe, it is essential to consider factors like fit, comfort, and purpose to ensure you get the most suitable shoe for your needs. Ensure the shoe will fit properly by carefully measuring your foot, as the fit can impact overall comfort. We ensure the material and quality of our shoes provide adequate support and cushioning for extended wear! The purpose of your purchase should also be taken into consideration. If you are looking for shoes for daily wear or outdoor activities, make sure you look for designs that will suit the unique needs of those activities.
