Floris: “Geert Hoste is one of Flanders’ most successful performers and comedians of the past decades. He always wore patent leather shoes on stage. When Geert mentioned in an interview that it was near impossible to find beautiful patent leather shoes, we were talking in no-time. Geert turned out to be a big lover of great shoes. From 2005 up until his last New Year’s Eve performance in 2015, we made multiple pairs of unique patent leather shoes for him every year.
