    Come home to the rarest most comfortable slippers on Earth.
     In these days of Giant Multinational Shoe Companies spewing out Eleven Billion pairs of footwear a  year, it is rare to come across a pair of Hand  Made Slippers.
     A greater rarity are hand made Rope Soled  Slippers.
     Less than 50 pairs exist.
     The Designs of the Uppers are exactly the  same as my Shoes and Shandals made in fine  leather fully lined in supple suede and stitched to  soft 5-6 mm thick leather soles.
     The Rope Soles are made from over 200 feet  of 5mm Jute Thread. I hand plait eight separate  threads into 12-15mm square rope roughly 10-12 feet long for each Slipper. These are coiled and hand sewn into soles, then Invisibly Stitched by hand to the Uppers.
     Rope Soled Slippers take a long time to make and is not easy, but the resulting comfort is unsurpassable, blissful - supreme.
     Your Unique Footprints will imbed even deeper into the soft leather and rope soles than my outdoor, street Shandals and Shoes. Moreover, they have all their potential, healing properties and more.
     Personally, I like to keep my Rope Soled Slippers on my Night Storage Heater, so that there will be a warm welcome for my feet in the morning or when I come home at night. Such luxuries are a real pleasure and set the mood for the day and one’s homecoming.
     Worn indoors they will last years but eventually the rope soles will fray and wear. Fortunately, I designed my Rope Soled
Slippers to be repaired and new soles can be sewn onto the Uppers. You have the choice of sending them back to me for a repair or repairing them yourself - I can supply you with the Jute and Instructions.
     Their rarity, originality, durability, craftsmanship, and beauty, combined with their comfort & healing properties make their True Value hard to judge.
     Not just highly desirable, but highly collectable. If you are the sort of a person that collects rare beautiful objects, who buys Art, then to collect or to wear, is a dilemma.
     There is a limit to the number of pairs of shoes I can physically make in a year - around one hundred pairs. Under the tongue or strap of each shoe, I sign and date them.
     My work is totally unique and limited.
     I make One-off Art Pieces like the Rope Soled Slippers with matching Armchair above and of course I am the Designer of Shandals®. In my opinion, Shandals® are a significant jump into an entirely New Species of Footwear. Their design is very subtle yet ground breaking. Perhaps in the future Shandals® will be manufactured in the millions, so that will make the originals highly collectable and valuable, so too my Rope Soled Slippers.
     I am the only Rope Soled Slipper Maker in the U.K perhaps the World. For 11 years, through trial and error, making over a hundred and fifty prototypes, I created designed and invented this style. They are repairable so durable, unique and beautiful, incredibly comfortable to wear and incredibly rare.
     To collect or to wear is a dilemma, but the answer is simple, buy two pairs.
