From dream to reality: when craftsmanship calls! When you become a shoemaker, especially after a career change, there's an imaginary world surrounding the entire process: craftsmanship is inspiring. You enter the universe of a passionate and manual trade. However, you might encounter a slight discrepancy with reality! This discrepancy obviously goes hand in hand with the joys of entrepreneurship! Come on, let's open up :) Published on 10/20/25 - Read more
The devil is in the details When it comes to shoemaking, we all expect to entrust our precious shoes to a craftsman and get them back repaired, even improved. Improved because the sole will now be non-slip, improved because the heel will make less "clack-clack" noise, improved because there was a snag on the heel and we hope to see it disappear... The shoemaker's goal is therefore to repair without the repair being visible, or to make existing flaws disappear... But by what miracle? That's what we're going to try to unravel.

Is there a debate about the ballet flat? I'm astonished to learn there's a debate about ballet flats! But why? It seems ballet flats can be a real "love killer" for some, much like Birkenstocks or Crocs... These shoes are regularly seen on the feet of Lily Rose Depp, or were famously worn by our former First Lady Carla Bruni alongside her husband, or even all those colorful Repettos with their adorable little bows. So, there's an anti-ballet flat league?! Rest assured, we're going to dig into the subject to get to the bottom of it: are ballet flats forbidden? Published on 6/21/25 - Read more
My shoes are too big... just a little too big! What a shame to find that the shoes bought at a high price or painstakingly hunted down are ultimately too loose. I'll almost look like a red carpet star whose heel slips off at the back... What a disaster! The epitome of a missed look! If the pair is unique, it's very hard to think about returning or reselling them. Especially if they've been worn a little, convinced that it "was nothing." What to do?

Wedding season The wedding season is fast approaching, and it fills me with joy. Of course, there's the happiness of others embarking on a life of love and joy (and babysitters, arguments over toothpaste caps, who gets more drawers in the closet...!), but there's also this incredible celebration just waiting for us and OUR OUTFIT, OH MY! Who, like me, is ready to face old uncles and snobby cousins, as long as we can show off our beautiful shoes? Published on 4/25/25 - Read more
