Keith's New Kicks

Well, they've arrived.  Keith's new shoes.  Shoes are one of the toughest things to buy ethically.  It is not easy to find Fair Trade shoes or even ones manufactured in Canada.  Keith has the widest feet I've ever seen and he finds buying shoes an arduous task.  However, back in April we were at a handmade craft bizarre at Landsdowne Park and Keith met a cobbler from Quebec. After some deliberation, Keith decided to ask him to make some custom black dress shoes for him.  He even got to help design them.  They arrived yesterday, and we were not disappointed.  These are some snazzy shoes.    If you're interested in exploring a more ethical approach to clothing your feet, let us know and we'll pass along the contact information of our cobbler.
