* A little trick to convert European sizes to North American sizes for men - subtract a "33" from the euro size number to get the North American equivalent (i.e size 42; 42-33 = 9... so a 42 euro is a 9 US)

• THE SHOEMAKER WORKSHOP (EST. 1998) - EL MARCHE, ITALY

  When we set out to make our first shoe, we knew we wanted quality that would stand the test of time. We interviewed over 40 footwear factories throughout Europe but none met the quality and ethical standards we were looking for. We then met Diego, who manages production for a few high-end brands and agreed to help us out. He introduced us to the owner of this factory, Pedro, who has been producing for a handful of small luxury brands for generations. Each pair takes days to complete, as every step is done by hand. In order to execute our designs perfectly, we collaborate closely with Pedro and his team through the entire process.
