Shoemaking student

This is Emma Sienkiewycz.  She has been attending Queen City Shoe School and just finished this fantastic pair of lace up boots built on a vintage pair of lasts she found on ebay.  Emma just finished highschool at CVU in Hinesburg, Vermont and is one her way to Parsons in NYC next year.  Great job Emma!

CUSTOM WINTER BOOTS

I just finished making the ultimate boots for winter in Vermont.  

The liner is 100% Merino wool felt which I hand stitched,

                                      gusseted tongue construction to keep the water out,

 Vibram Big Horn sole, speed laces, and quilted

side panels.  The leg is lined with nylon and 

the heel lined with a thick leather heel counter to 

stand up to years of wear.

Bring on the snow!
