The Shellvedge Podcast
A weekly Podcast discussing traditional welted leather footwear, primarily in shell cordovan as well as all things classic casual menswear.
I’m a self-taught menswear and footwear enthusiast. This will be a weekly platform for me to share industry news, reactions to hot topics in the comments or from fellow content creators, tips to maintain your shoes and what topic I’m passionate about that week.
I started to research and learn about traditional welted footwear 5 years ago when I was looking for a new pair of dress shoes. At the same time, I started an Instagram account because I was researching some shoemakers through the platform. Long story short within a year, my Instagram grew to over 10k followers and my shoe photography became a mainstay of the community.
I now have my primary Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/shellvedge/, my YouTube channel, https://youtube.com/@Shellvedge and am a working photographer/videographer for menswear brands.
