Bio
Handmade Barefoot Shoes
I am a self taught shoe maker and martial artist. My Argentinean great grandfather was a saddler and a 'Gaucho' (Argentinean cowboy). One of his daughters (my great auntie) was a shoe maker in Buenos Aires. Then my father did leather work whilst studying Fine Arts.
In my 20's I started traveling and started doing leather work. Later on I discover this connection that my ancestors had with this material. My passion to Ninjutsu Martial Arts took me to tabi making. From the experience of wearing leather tabi I started making shoes that could mimic the same feeling.
