Roadtest; Feit Dsrt Kudu Suede Cloud

The good folks at Australian Premium shoe brand Feit were kind enough to send some shoes my way to roadtest, so I thought I would showcase the fantastic Dsrt Kudu Suede Cloud in this short video featurette, the first in my 'Roadtest' series.
The shoe isn't cheap, coming in at just under $400 (Aus), but what you get for that price is something with premium materials made with precision, care and hand crafting so if you can stretch to the cost, you will be getting your hands on a piece of considered design that I am very impressed with.
With the shoes come cork insoles and a Feit bag, but the star of the show is the shoe itself which I rate extremely highly for style, value and comfort; the 3 categories my Roadtest's will consider.

Feit Store; Sydney

Feit launched in the mid-2000's and literally came out of their corner 'Feit'ing' to show the sneaker and footwear scene that the art of shoe making is alive, kicking and as relevant to the urban scene as ever.
Based around the traditions of hand-crafted product made from premium materials, the brand have found a niche in the footwear game, fusing their fantastic array of lovingly designed and made product, with a unique sales model that see's samples posted online, with customers able to pre-order straight off the web.  Feitdirect.com gives members the chance to see what the companies working on, and the amount of pre-orders determines how many get made, and in what sizes.  Clean, simple and cuts out the middle man of profit guzzling stores!
That said, you can also get up close and personal with the brand in their Sydney boutique.  Small, intimate and regimentally designed, whilst allowing you to get up close and personal with the product that fuses top quality materials, stunning attention to detail, and fantastic design.
They're a brand well worth checking out, and I'm very much looking forward to road-testing some amazing Dsrt Kudu Suede Cloud which I'll report back about soon!

Simon; Sydney

In a rush to get to work Simon didn't have long to stop and chat.

In just a few minutes though I did find out that his interesting look stems from an passion for street style that sees him fusing brands such as Carhaart, Tenderloin and shoes from the store where he works 'Feit'.

Feit pride themselves on handmade shoes and sneakers, and he's become a convert to their product since working in retail for them.  

The brand's placement is definitely in the premium bracket, with crafted goods (often handmade) manufactured from luxurious materials with a careful blend of attention to detail and aesthetics.

Simon is seen here wearing the 'Hand sewn Stitchdown Naturale', one of many styles you can check out here.
