Moto Leather

Hideo Motoike, a gifted sculptor from Yonago City, Japan, is the founder of Leather Arts & Crafts MOTO, which was established in 1971. He is also the creator of Leather Arts. Later, while traveling aimlessly over Europe, Motoike discovered ancient porcelain figurines in Italy. Then, a new period and genre of "leather dolls" were passionately pioneered by the inventor of Moto Leather.

Having both grown up around leather, the two sons of Motoike, Daisuke and Sakuto, have carried on their father's leather business by using skills in metal engraving and academic knowledge of sculpture. For years, the boot brand has offered products influenced by a variety of other cultures, including motorcycle, military, and Native American, in addition to its antiquated worldview.

Even if its products may not appear appealing at first glance, you will be surprised by how well thought-out every element of design is. They are exquisitely planned and perfectly balanced. Surprisingly, Moto themselves also hand painted some items made with Japanese vegetable-tanned calfskin. If you are tired of the standard black ones, a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers are fantastic.
