The seamless wholecut is a model that spent decades in oblivion before a rather unknown British freelance bespoke shoemaker revived the model a bit over a decade ago, causing a boom in manufacturers who set out to make the model. Shoegazing tells the story of one of the most difficult shoe models to make.

We are very happy to once again invite you to the world’s largest open event for classic shoes, the London Super Trunk Show, organized by Shoegazing and The Shoe Snob. In the middle of London on Saturday April 7 we gather more than 10 brands from all over the world, interesting partners, there will be the World Championships in Shoe Shining, and the first World Championships in Shoemaking will have it’s award ceremony and competition shoes displayed. Below all info about the event.
Another super trunk has passed, and once again we are very happy with the day. Over 700 people visited the event, over 100 pairs of shoes were bought for a value of about €35 000 (and many more orders placed the following days). Here’s a summary of the day in text and picture.
The toe spring, how much the toe tip is raised from the ground, can actually be tweaked by using different types of shoe trees. For example, if you want to have a lower toe spring, use a tree with a flat bottom towards the toe that push the toe down when inserted. With time, the toe spring of the shoes will be lowered.
Today the new Swedish initiative The Sabot was launched, an online store with a very interesting selection of shoes. Their own Private Label brand is manufactured by Antonio Meccariello, his Argentum range, Andrés Sendra and also Japanese Yohei Fukuda’s RTW shoes.

We now present the final exhibitor at the London Super Trunk Show this coming Saturday May 13. It’s a Swedish based online retailer named The Sabot, selling their own brand, Antonio Meccariello and the all-new RTW range from the Japanese Yohei Fukuda, who also will come to the event. Visitors will have an exclusive opportunity to buy and order their offerings ahead of the actual store opening in a few weeks.
Italian Antonio Meccariello is one of the most reputable manufacturers in the famous shoemaking country down south. Now he is launching a new website with an online store, where a limited number of shoes in his Argentum RTW line is sold at a very competitive price, probably among the most bang for the buck you can get today.
Time to present the correct answers to last week’s photo contest, where you should find the differences in construction and finish work between five pairs of pictures with shoes from various manufacturers. As expected, the competition was really hard, but we’ve got a winner of the shoe care package from Springyard Shoe Therapy with a value of over €1100, and a winner of the shoe cream and polish from the same brand.
