Kids Leather Sandals
& Boots
Designed And Made
By Lermont Moukoian
For My Brothers
Harutiun & Albert & For Me

On this page you can see the photos of kids leather sandals and kids boots designed and made by my Dad Lermont Moukoian for us, his children, when we were little.

It's my Dad Lermont Moukoian and my brother Harutiun Moukoian in the photo on the right hand side. Most people call my brother Harut, some call him Henry.

Interestingly, neither one of my brothers followed my Dad's footsteps to become a specialist cobbler. Harutiun is an auto mechanic, and Albert is a skydiver.

And all three are really good at what they do!

My two brothers and I always wore shoes designed and made by my Dad Lermont from the time that we took our first baby steps until we moved to the United States in 1976.

My Dad designed and made all our shoes-for me, for my two brothers, for my Mom, and for himself.

As we were growing up in Yerevan, Armenia, all our school friends and all the children in our neighborhood were envious and even jealous of us because our shoes always stood out and looked much nicer than theirs. We received a lot of compliments from total strangers in all kinds of public places. They would ask us where our parents bought our shoes from.

The above photo of my Dad and Harutiun is taken in the mountains of Salt Lake City, Utah. We went for a picnic that day. Harut and his wife Suzie were expecting their second son.

In the photos below you can see my two brothers Harutiun, Albert and me wearing kids leather sandals and kids boots.

Here, in the photo on the left hand side, is our Dad Lermont Moukoian holding my brother Harutiun and me.

Our Mom Zabel was taking the photo. We were on a vacation in Kislovodsk, Russia in the summer of 1963.

Harut was only one year old, and I was three.

I know the photo is not very clear and it's in black and white, but you can still see the kids leather sandals that we were wearing.

As usual, our Dad Lermont designed and made these kids leather sandals for us.

In the photo on the right hand side, you can see my brother Albert wearing kids boots. I remember how my Dad designed, cut the pattern, and made these tiny kids boots.

Albert was only one year old at the time. The photo is taken in Yerevan, Armenia in 1973. The photographer gave Albert a toy which he's holding, so he would stop crying.

Even though the photo is in black and white, you can see the kids boots that Albert was wearing in the right color. Because these kids booties were made of black and white leather.

You can click on Kids Dress Shoes and Kids Leather Sandals to see Albert's shoes that my Dad made for him back in 1975 when he was 3 years old. Amazingly, Albert still has them.

In the photo on the left hand side, you can see my photo when I was two years old proudly wearing girls dress shoes designed and made by my Dad Lermont Moukoian.

I was all dressed up. I remember those shoes, the socks and the dress, and even the little jewelry on my left wrist. It's a bangle watch. I don't remember if the watch was real or not.

The kids leather sandals that I wore were red and white, my socks were white with red trims, and my dress was white with red, yellow, blue and green polka dots. My Mom put a white hair-ribbon on my hair. My brothers were not even born yet. My brother Harutiun was going to be born soon.

If I had known back then that I was going to grow up and make this website now, I would have asked my Dad to take a close up photo of all the kids leather sandals and boys and girls dress shoes that he made for my brothers and for me.

The two photos above were taken the same day in Yerevan, Armenia back in 1964. Harutiun was two years old and I was four. We both were wearing kids leather sandals designed and made by our Dad Lermont. In Harut's photo where he's by himself, you can see a little close up of his shoes. Too bad these photos are not in color.

However, you can check out my custom shoes designed and made by my Dad Lermont Moukoian back in 1972-1975 that I still wear. And these photos are in color.

After we moved to the United States he stopped designing and making custom shoes because he got into the shoe repair business and has been working in that field since 1976.

The reason that I present all this information is to show you that when it comes to shoe repair, our Dad Lermont Moukoian is unique because of his special skills and ability of not only designing and making kids dress shoes, children's designer shoes, kids leather sandals, but also men's and women's custom shoes.

Let me ask you something. Do you know another shoe repair man who does Leather Book Binding besides shoe repair? My husband Patrick and I don't know anybody else besides my Dad, and neither does anyone else in our family.

And because of these special skills and talents, he can handle even the most difficult repair requests that other shoe repairmen usually would refuse.
