About Heidi Louise, Australian shoemaker
Color is Life!!
​
I gain inspiration from the bright colors and curved lines of the underwater world.
"Color is life" as the saying goes.
I like to incorporate fins and florescent colors of tropical fish with the curved lines and contours of the female body, as crazy as that sounds!
​
I am drawn to natural materials like leather, shell, linen, cotton, wool, wood, stone. I think being touched by nature is good for the soul.
Stepping outside the limitations of high fashion I like to carve my own path in design and combine unique styles with practicality and comfort.
Heidi Cozens, Owner of Heidi Louise Shoemaker
Born in a small South Australian town in 1974, I graduated as a fully qualified Shoemaker 1994 at Marleston Tafe.
I went on to study with Tim Skryme to learn more of the forgotten hand skills of the trade.
​
Each pair of shoes is hand made by me in my Adelaide work-space. I use all leather upper, lining, stiffeners, and insoles.
Also the highest quality solings are chosen for comfort and support.
My journey to becoming a shoemaker started with my desire for something different. I’ve always loved shoes, but I found that what was available in the market didn’t quite meet my needs.
​
I began exploring the process of shoemaking and instantly fell in love with this craft. It wasn’t long before I decided to take this passion to the next level.
​
One of the things that sets my shoes apart is their exceptional quality. I am dedicated to using only the finest materials and each pair of shoes is handcrafted with the utmost care.
