All-leather footwear from Hidesign

What&rsquos a summer shoe if the fashion stifles your foot For shoes that really breathe, you need leather rather than sweltering synthetics&mdashunless you are happy to live your life in gymwear. And a true leather shoe, fully lined in leather too (not even canvas), is getting to be a rare beast in Indian shoe stores, ironically. So kudos to Hidesign for thinking beyond the usual stifling toebox with environmentally kinder and healthier leather too, being vegetable tanned and dyed. Newly launched, their first collection includes boat shoes, moccasins, even stylish leather sneakers. Coming soon dressy evening shoes and wedges for the ladies. (from Rs 4,295, www.hidesign.com)
