Once a year, the finest shoemakers on earth gather in London to compete for a single title — and this year's competition may have been the most extraordinary yet.
Twenty entries. Eleven countries. One brief: a black Chelsea boot, hand-welted, hand-stitched. What these makers brought to that simple constraint will genuinely stop you in your tracks.
Join me as we walk the table, meet the makers, and reveal the top three shoes of the seventh annual World Championship of Shoemaking — plus a conversation with last year's world champion on what separates a great shoe from something truly exceptional.
This is bespoke craftsmanship at its absolute peak. Grab a coffee and settle in.
