The virtuoso Goodyear stitching technique they employed in their durable, made-to-last boots and smart dress shoes established their reputation for producing quality footwear.

Today, this established brand’s products preserve all of the skill and knowledge that has been handed down from generation to generation. From the virtuoso stitching technique to the comfortable geometry of their shape, each reflects an obsession with creating the perfect product, incorporating superb quality leathers, rich colours and luxurious textures.
