It all started decades ago, in a small workshop where I discovered the art of shoemaking. I became captivated by the process—choosing the perfect materials, shaping the leather, stitching each seam by hand. There’s a unique satisfaction in knowing that each pair of shoes I create brings together both comfort and character. Over the years, my workshop has seen countless shoes come to life, each pair as unique as the person who wears them. I’ve poured countless hours—sometimes 80 a week—into my work, driven by a passion for creating shoes that look great and feel even better

For me, shoemaking has always been about more than just footwear. It’s about understanding how a shoe should feel at the end of a long day, how it should support someone through life’s busy moments, and how it can bring confidence to every step. Every pair I make is crafted to blend comfort with style, so that no one ever has to choose between the two.

Each shoe tells a story—from the first cut to the final polish. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that my work will go on to be part of someone else’s journey, accompanying them through their day-to-day life, one step at a time.

As I prepare to close my workshop, it’s with a mix of pride and nostalgia. This journey has been one of hard work, long days, and true joy in connecting with people like you who value what I do. But after years of dedication, it’s time for a new chapter. I’m ready to take a step back, to finally find my own comfort, even as I say goodbye to this part of my life.

I want to thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Your support and appreciation have meant the world, and this farewell sale is my way of offering you a final opportunity to own a piece of Henry’s Shoes. Each pair carries a bit of my heart and history, and I hope they bring you the same comfort and style I’ve worked so hard to perfect.
