The Los Angeles-based group of master cobblers at Goods & Services is set to expand its original footwear design range with the all-new Field Shoe. A hybrid silhouette that sits somewhere between football boot and work boot, the Field Shoe offers a premium, refined look with plenty of unique details. “We’re known as cobblers that apply unconventional repair methods to sneakers and shoes, and we want to carry that over into our own in-house products,” said Goods & Services founder Rory Fortune.
Presented in a murky black colorway, the Field Shoe is built from a combination of quilted distressed lambskin and various cowhide leathers, materials that nod to football boots, luxury leather goods and work boots alike. Tongues boast a hybrid build that makes use of 3D-mesh, thin webbing, and soft grain leather, and can be tucked into the shoe for a more muted look. Special details that can be seen throughout this assembly include hits of mustard and navy, as well as various thread sizes, nodding to Goods & Services’ extensive leatherworking background. Down below, EVA midsoles and Italian-made Vibram outsoles round off the look.
“Since we take apart and rebuild old shoes into new unexpected constructions every day, we relied on that as a reference library for how patterns, cutting and stitching methods, and material combinations could come together in unexpected ways on this shoe,” noted Fortune.
The Goods & Services Field Shoe will release to Goods & Services’ email list on May 28, then drop on the outfit’s webstore May 30. It’s priced at $525 USD.
