Shoe Manufacturing

Where are your shoes manufactured and are they hand made?

In the beginning we made them in Brooklyn, but we moved to Italy and South America, Mexico, and now we're mostly in China.

How do you make high fashion shoes so affordable?

With great difficulty. We try to give value. We're not the cheapest guys, but we're not the most expensive. But it's all about value.

Do you see any major changes in the way shoes might be made in the future?

Yeah, actually there are more shoes being made in a sort of a vulcanized process. Which is out of a machine, and an injection mold machine, which is really interesting.
