I have just spent a few days in Sweden, so I took the opportunity to visit shoemaker Jan-Erik (Janne) Melkersson (a well regarded member of the forum). Janne is not only a highly accomplished shoemaker, but also one of the nicest men around.

http://www.melkershoes.com/


He and his family have been living and working for the last year down south in Stockholm, but they have decided to move back north again (later this month). So when I came to visit, most of his workshop had been boxed-up, ready for the move.

I nevertheless got to see these two beauties: a full-brogue Derby and a galosh oxford with crocodile quarters (I'm using English shoe terminology).

I took a few pictures, as I hope some of the members here will enjoy Janne's work

Janne is moving back to Hackås (or maybe the next village) in mid-Sweden.
The new house is just a mile or two away from the old one.

His e-mail and (cell) phone listed will not change.
