Marloes - COUTURE SHOES. Martha Davis. A long career in industrial design informs Martha Davis' footwear collection, which was first launched back in 2009.
The multifaceted designer spent the last few months at San Francisco's Workshop Residence, creating shoes by hand from custom steel shanks, vegetable-tanned leather and reclaimed wood from the Bay Area. Debuting today, the three new styles represent Davis' embrace of natural materials and minimal fashion. Davis found her work straying away from objects for a time, as she moved into designing user interfaces for digital products. "That's when I decided to go to Italy," she says, feeling a need to make things once again. While she appreciates the traditional craftsmanship she learned abroad, the need to experiment eventually won out. Davis is the third participant of the Workshop Residence, an organization that provides makers from all walks with the space, funds and access necessary to realize their creations.
All materials used in the collection were sourced locally. Pop Color Rubber Sole Felted Wool Shoes and Slippers. Introducing the Nike Free Trainer 5.0. DISSECTED.

Green Kitchen: Craft Blog, etc. Earth and living: iron age shoes: a tutorial, sort of.
