James Neon Welt

James is another Shoemakers All-star but we couldn't resist getting another shot of  him in his Cole Haan perforated leather boots with neon pink welt.

Zach Urban Hiker

Musician Zach was photographed wearing Timberland outside of Laneway Festival in Footscray over the weekend. We've spotted Zach at Festivals before & he always manages to get his mix of casual style & practicality spot on.

Jared Kimber Loafers

Jared has featured on Shoemakers Of Melbourne before, but as one of the city's most style conscious neo-dandies, he's a hard man to ignore. We photographed Jared on a more casual day wearing tassel suede loafers by new Melbourne based footwear designer, Christian Kimber.

An interview with Christian Kimber will feature on this site soon.

Chris Bespoke by Rocco

Chris was a standout at The Big Day Out in bespoke brogues by Melbourne shoemaker Rocco. The iconic Malvern based shoemaker made these for Chris to order.

Ward Brooks Bros Saddle

Ward stood out from your typical Bourke street crowd with his classic preppy look - completed by his Ralph Lauren tailored shirt & a pair of Goodyear welted canvas & leather saddle shoes from iconic American mens retailer Brooks Brothers.

Gerry Crockett & Jones

Who would have suspected that on a 37c day someone looking as cool as Gerry would cross our path. Sporting a classic pair of Crockett & Jones Westfields, Gerry has swapped out the laces for a contrasting colour for a more contemporary look.

20 year old Loakes

Mike was an absolute Gentleman with a passion for quality footwear. When we discussed his choice of brogues, we loved the fact that he was wearing a pair of 20 year old Loakes that he claimed were still as comfortable as slippers.

Michael Lacoste Bradford

Michael was spotted in South Melbourne in a nice Summer casual pair of Lacoste Bradfords - an eye-catching hybrid, inspired by the Lacoste golfing heritage.

Christian Weathered Whites

 

Christian was running a stall at Camberwell Markets & amid all the bleary eyed Sunday bargain hunters, his British brogues by Northampton based footwear brand John White, stood out from the masses.

George Tassel Loafer

Lachlan Third Edition

Barista Lachlan admits he has a growing addiction to quality footwear. We photographed him on his lunch break wearing a pair of Jackson Pollock-esque coffee spattered lace-ups by Third Edition

Barry Wally Chukka

Barry was photographed outside The People's Market in Collingwood wearing a Wally Chukka style brushed suede boot.

Daniel Vintage Style

A fantastic thing about Melbourne in the Summer is the art world reaches out and meets you in the streets, the parks, the gardens and in the most unexpected places.  The statues of King George and Queen Victoria in the Botanical Gardens painted flourescent orange last spring was absolute genius (why they returned them to white we will never know), so when we caught physical comedian Daniel in action on the corner of Flinders Street in his sharp blue suit and vintage purple brogues we just couldn't resist.  Daniel was not only talented and clearly stylish, but was also gracious enough to stop on his way to a film shoot for a snap for Shoemakers.
