New The Horse gallops into Angus Black, Fortitude Valley

There is a certain reward that comes from donning a good, nay superbly handcrafted, pair of shoes. That little bounce in your step as people praise the perfectly moulded leather enveloping your feet. The uniqueness of design, texture and colour that make passersby’s eyes whip around to catch another tender glimpse. And not to mention the smooth comfort that results from hours of hand stretching, tailoring, bending and assemblage – your feet will be particularly appreciative of this.

The autumn/winter collection by Sydney shoe folk The Horse delivers such reward. When you don a Horse shoe, you’re not only wearing a style, but a personality. Featuring Dexter, Bob, and Charles in a range of leathers and suedes, The Horse’s latest intrinsic upholstery for the foot exudes mystic and rugged magnetism.

Dexter, a single-buckle, brown-leather stud, is as strong as cattle. Bob is sleek like a smoking gun and Charles is a debonair cigar in brown leather and maroon or black suede. With smooth curvature of design and fabrics imported from Italy, wrap these beauties around your ankles for ultimate head-turning potential and sole comfort. A selection of The Horse shoes is available at Angus Black in Fortitude Valley.
