You Must Create

We produced this Wrestling Boot for YMC a year or two ago-still love it. It came in cream, chocolate or military green all with the herringbone heel stripe. Get along to their Poland Street, London store.

Detailed Rubber Trapper Boot




Looking to run a remake of this vintage Converse Trapper's boot with our European vulcanised shoe factory. Not many of these factories left now in Europe. This was made in the US originally. Our contacts produce a lot of rubber boots so the production of a similar canvas boot to this should be straight forward enough.

Tigra AW 14 production


Just back from one of our suppliers seeing the shoes come off the production line and boxed up to go out to El Ganso. I decided to put a sized 45 Green/Orange Tigra seen in the background into my bag.

Tigra Track shoe on lake Balaton, Hungary


Tamas was sailing on a beautiful 1930's wooden sailing boat and took this photo as thanks for the shoes we sent him. Not the first pair I can assure you. I will ask for photos of the boat to put on the blog-it is a real beauty.

London to Capetown by 1930's Velocette-a young man's game


Richard and Tom decided it was best to ride from London to Capetown on 1930's Velocette motorcycles. This is a photo of Richard in Khartoum doing a little street jig in a pair of our shoes and a nifty get up for the entertainment of that local chap.


Below the pair are seen in early autumn in Budapest as they came to see me about some engine repairs.

The trip is written up in their fantastic blog-http://darkstarmotorcycles.tumblr.com

They made the whole distance btw.

Good lads.

JAP twin engined salt racer

Who needs brakes when you are trying to go fast? JAP was a British engine supplier to some of the really exotic motorcycle makers of the 20's to the 50's.
