Our Difference

Our in-house design process combines international trends with the latest technology to create exclusive and innovative footwear ranges for each of our customers, which includes mens, ladies and children footwear in leather or synthetics, including school shoes as well as slippers for the family.

All our leather footwear styles are developed with the same criteria and include benefits such as breathable leather uppers; flexible, lightweight, non-slip soling; room for growth; soft underfoot cushioning; nickel free components and adjustable straps or laces for optimum fit and ease of use.

We have our own in-house testing facility, and our material development and testing, fit approvals and wear trials form an integral part of our development process.
