THE PROJECT
KNOW-HOW
The final step of the process.
Let the magic happen…
In reality, it's a little more complex than that, but that's the feeling you get when we send our designs to our workshops in Portugal. When a simple idea grows day by day to become a drawing. Then a prototype. Then a final version a few months later. Come along, we'll tell you everything.
Made in Portugal.
By those who know.
An important point: Portugal is THE shoe-producing country in Europe. It possesses an ancestral and widely recognised expertise that truly took off in the 1970s.
Today, we are proud to collaborate with the finest workshops and the most skilled craftspeople in the region: Tierri, Albano, Manuel, Licinia… They work in Ovar and Vizela, in family-run workshops in the north of Portugal, where expertise is passed down from generation to generation. Some have been working here for over 30 years, bringing the same passion and the same quality from day one.
100% handcrafted assembly.
Skilled hands, great talent.
Here, there is no mass production. Every pair is hand-assembled, checked and tested. So it's not 1% of products that are randomly checked as in some factories (you know the ones…). It's 100%. Each pair is then meticulously inspected, making it possible to reduce the risk of defects to an absolute minimum.
The difference between a good and a very good product?
Its level of detail.
But to raise the level of detail, you need to devote time to it. At a time when production is intensifying and accelerating, we choose to slow down and take the time. Take the time to do things well and to refine our craft until it reaches perfection.
To give you an idea, it takes between 5 and 6 hours to produce a pair. It passes from hand to hand and from station to station, encountering around twenty experts: cutting of panels, assembly, sole bonding, quality control at every stage and packaging… In fact, the true expression isn't "Goldsmith's work" but "Craftsman of Ovar's work".
Putting comfort first.
A shoe that truly fits you.
It was by listening to all of your feedback that we understood the problem with today's trainers. They hurt your feet after a day's wear. And let's not even mention wearing them several days in a row. So we made comfort our top priority:
• Thick recycled rubber sole, slightly angled to encourage perfect posture. Offering more cushioning than the majority of pairs on the market.
• Woven cotton interior, which does not retain heat, but wraps the foot in a padded material and keeps it supported.
• And most importantly: testing. Before launch, every new product is tested in real conditions to ensure its durability and comfort over several months. If we are not fully satisfied, it is back to the materials sourcing and production stage to start again.
