Watch how I made todays Giro D’Italia stage 8 winner Ben Healys custom shoes, he’s been wearing these through this years Giro. He has his aero overshoes on today but this is what’s beneath them.

I couldn’t miss the chance of going to the Giro and seeing Ben in action wearing those custom shoes, First time in Italy and what few days it’s been, great to catch up with Ben again, see a few stages, meet some new people and have a little holiday. Now it’s back to work.
Ben Healy you absolute legend.
Your first grand tour stage win, winner of stage 8 and what a ride!
Unbelievable.
My custom shoes are on the top step of a grand tour stage!

It’s another one of those moments that makes all the hard work worthwhile.

This past year I thought it would be cool to have one of my designs as a shoe choice on Zwift.
I don’t know what needs to be done to make this happen, but I can’t think of a better pair than Bens Giro d’Italia stage winning Nimbls I designed and made.
What do we think
@GoZwift

Few weeks now since the seizure and first week trying to get into the swing of things with work over, Anyone who has messaged or waiting for replies on instagram, emails or messenger just pop up to me again and over the next week or so ill get back to everyone.

First solo trip away since having the seizure, Edinburgh, visiting my Sister and Nieces. Walked down to the shop and to the isle where I had the seizure, managed to walk back this time.
Thanks to the severe concussion I actually have zero memory of anything actually happening.
You absolute legend! The GOAT and an inspiration.
Glad I got to catch up with
@MarkCavendish

This is one of my proudest moments with The Shoe Dr. ,when I realised I wanted to make a life from customising shoes It was a dream to get a pair into a the Tour de France. From painting shoes at the end of my bed to make customs for global brands, sports people and celebrities.
And just like that the Tour De France is over! It meant a lot for me to achieve this goal to have a pair of my custom shoes at the biggest Grand tour of them all and I really can’t thank
@lukamezgec
enough for the opportunity! I’ll remember this Tour for the rest of my life!!
Watch me repair another pair of Adidas Predator LZs - Starting to see a trend in these now, all coming apart at the heel and this is maybe the 6/7th I’ve done with the same problem.

I’ve been getting more organised recently, working hard and it’s clear things are paying off.
Speaking of legends. This man absolutely lit up this years Giro and he should be mad proud of himself, I know I am. First win at a grand tour, a second place, getting into the blue jersey, in contention for it and just having fun.

@TheRunInTheDark
Tougher than I expected with Stormont Hill straight of the bat, then again second time around. Found it hard to get into a rhythm but got some going into the last 5k.
I’ll maybe do a 5k now 😂

I’d say there has been many pairs of boots binned in this condition over the years.
Check out the before and after shots of the repair on these classics.

2021-What a year, my first official year in business, full time.

Thanks to everyone who was a part of my 2021.
The Tour de France has started and I have reached a goal I set myself at the beginning of The Shoe Dr.
To have a pair of my custom shoes in the Tour. Honestly can’t believe it.
They look great along side the kit!
Good luck Luka.
