Description

Rafiks are my version of the classic unisex Turkish shoes and boots that have been made by hand in my native Turkey for over 700 years. The designs are novel, but the materials--the highest quality leathers--and the craftsmanship are strikingly traditional. I make Rafiks the same way they always have been: hand-stitched using two long needles and a waxed string that joins together the sole, the insole, and the upper. The stitching is what gives the shoes their distinctive look (and what inspired Rafiks' trademark X on the heel). It's also what makes this such a physically demanding craft.
