The Atelier
One room in Pretoria. Since 2015.
SixKings is a commissioned shoemaking atelier at Greenlyn Village, Menlo Park. Every pair is made to order: worked to your foot, lasted by hand and sewn entirely by hand.
The Room
Where a commission can begin in person
The Room is the shop at Shop 11, Greenlyn Village. Come in for any of three reasons.
- 01
Be measured
Your feet measured standing, in the afternoon, in the socks you will wear with the pair. It is one of the five routes to your fit. Your fit
- 02
Choose in hand
The six full-grain cow leathers and finished pairs in each build, held rather than judged on a screen, before you commission.
- 03
Bring a pair back
Resole R750 · repair R450 · back in 1–2 weeks, at the bench that made it. Recraft
Since 2015
Made to order, one commission at a time
SixKings has made shoes in Pretoria since 2015. Nothing is made in advance and there is no stock: every pair begins with a client, a foot and a choice of leather and build.
Every last is worked to the client’s foot. There are no width fittings and no fixed widths. Every pair is lasted by hand and sewn entirely by hand, whichever of the three builds is chosen.
The maker is reachable directly: message the bench on WhatsApp.
Nothing is cut until your fit is confirmed.
