Moving to Cornwall has shown me that stone floors in traditionally built homes require VERY warm footwear. Especially if the main living room is the only room with a fire, popping to the kitchen for a cuppa becomes a mission to stay warm. With this in mind I created a completely wool lined ankle boot.
Wooden beads add the right detail, and a bit of weight to the laces which feels good. I'm enjoying this direction and this coming winter will see more of this style. For now i'll be testing them out and making minor adjustments.
Little toes will be kept warm in the new born baby moccasins, tiny versions of the Caribou Boot.
