Gaucho Ninja is a UK based shoe company, established by artisan shoe maker, Lisandro Serra Delmar. They are based in Herefordshire, working from a green roofed oak workshop constructed as part of a growing community of artists and makers by the Slough Brook at the foot of the Black Mountains. From this idyllic location Lisandro has been producing a range of custom made totally bespoke shoes to order. These are beautiful shoes, inspired by his background and experience in martial arts. His custom shoes are made from vegetable tanned leathers made using traditional methods to retain their beautiful tones and variations and giving a truly beautiful long lasting product.
However this is a very expensive way to make shoes so Lisandro looked for a factory which would share his values yet allow him to develop a range of barefoot shoes at a more affordable price. Eventually he found such a factory in Spain and his new range, Barefoot Pals, was created and is now available in children's sizes. We are delighted to be working with Lisandro to help bring this range to a wider market.
Barefoot Pals are a super range on a lovely wide fitting stitched down construction and are some of the lightest shoes around. The leathers are ethically sourced, vegetable tanned, unlined and buttery soft giving a totally minimalist shoe that needs no wearing in. The shoes are breathable and mouldable on a lovely thin, flexible and super wide sole.
