There is no need to shine your shoes when wearing the Cast Shoe collection by Tom Dixon. Cast Shoe is set to debut at the Home Furnishing expo in Paris. This eagerly anticipated exhibit features classic shoes encrusted in bronze and brass.
Each polished piece of the Cast Shoe collection features phenomenal detailing such as worn in lines and creases. The collection is centered on the brogue shoe, which is a classic English shoe, and a staple of most professionals’ wardrobes. The shoes give off an unprecedented shine, and are very enticing to onlookers. Regardless of how impossible it would be to wear these shoes, they would make a great staple as a sculpture in any footwear-lovers living room.
