Lace-Welted Heels

A lace-welted court shoe with a clear sole — exposing the structure beneath refined surfaces.

A reinterpretation of hand welting applied to heels — this design explores the tension between tradition and transparency. Originally conceived in 2020, the concept began as a sketch: a court shoe welted with lace borders, its construction exposed through a clear base. Years later, this vision was brought to life, revealing craftsmanship usually hidden beneath the surface.
