skins are soft and hand-made shoes and tailor-made son back in vogue.
The prosperity and the desire for quality, has passed the hangover of disposable crap,and bespoke shoes  is slowly gaining new positions.
we are heading back towards  sustainable consumption and good hand-crafted shoes.
  handmade footwear has always been a boast of Italian craftsmanship but has more or less died over the last few years
A shoe that can solve problems big and small, you have a desire for ox blood suede brogues or light grey ones or even purple ones then beppe will do it.
Today, fortunately, this ancient craft of custom-made shoes, finds a few young people willing to put up a shop and be thrilled by this noble profession.
An example is the needle  and Twine, that with two shops in Via Plinio (MM Lima) and the other in Via Col di Lana (Navigli district), offers with its models an after-sales services, such  a shop thats dynamic in the pitiful so called fashion high street area that milan has become ,anything but the so called   dynamic reality of Milan.
The customer can choose from multiple templates, juxtapose different skins, as well as different colors ... in a nutshell,  only his shoe.
.
Pino, comes from a family of shoemakers from Puglia
In 1978, is the great leap and precisely a shop where under 300 pounds you can get the bizz in shoes.
.
A growing band of people, want shoe quality and custom made .
"Needle and Twine" is the place to go.
In a few years in Milan, this shop became synonymous with shoes of great quality.
Today Aug and Twine has two workshops: one in via Plinio (zona Lima-Loreto), managed by Maximilian, the second towards the Navigli, in Viale Col di Lana
. Their kindness is contagious and his competence ised  an irresistible attraction for all those who want good shoes in Milan crafted at reasonable prices.
You may wonder how much they cost ... less than you think. Man shoes hand made and tailored starts from 130 € to arrive for more complex made to measure models at  300 € euros approximately.
For women  beautiful and colorful dancers from 59 € the classic shoes from 130 €
But what I would say that is interesting and unique to the Milan shop are its  customer services.
Shoes,  are literally regenerated. Heels, soles, a rejuvenation of the leathers to dyes, hotted  up to enlargement, there is no trouble that Maximilian and his father are not able to repair.
And if you're about to get married, just bring the cloth ,More chic than that!
Models, especially for  men, are numerous, from smooth tip oxfords (Oxford) characterized by lacing "closed" to the Derby and  soft loafers (tubular) that fit like a glove,  shoes decorated with "broguering" or flowers (Semi Brogue and Full Brogue),  increasingly in vogue.
