Looking for a basic handcrafted pair of shoes

[stc_camp]

Does anyone know a company (where I can view their selection online) that makes a pair of simple leather shoes? I'm not looking for a dress shoe, but something that I can wear with a pair of jeans...

I'm looking for something with a smooth flow, natural colour & thin sole.

Example of what I'm looking for:

can be a boot or low top since the back will be covered by long pants

These have gone out of production, though, but you might be able to find some styles on eBay. If that's not what you're looking for, then never mind.

I say Godamn...that's one ugly boot!!!

That boot is a padmore and barnes model.

Maybe you can find some you like from http://www.ndcmadebyhand.com/

Thanks for all the help. I realise it's a padmore and barnes shoe b/c i got it off their website. I dont know if they are still open, but im thinking about calling them on the phone because their web email is sending back my email every time i try to send them a letter. !

I checked out that link and they were not exactly what i was looking for. little too designer/ urban "check out my $600 boot" shoe. :\ I just need something really simple and not too trendy.

AND thanks for the input on whether you think they're attractive or not, but anyone who sports white jeans ("I got me some early 80s (made in the usa) white 501s from the thrift store and they are cool") I dont care to hear input from regarding good style. Keep rockin your gaudy nike dunks and floral print shirts tho!
