Why You Need a Pair of Handcrafted Shoes

SHOES ARE THE ULTIMATE ACCESSORY—THEY MAKE A PERSONAL STATEMENT

Why Leather?

Leather is a natural material. It is breathable and adapts equally to warm and cold weather, as well as both dry and humid conditions. Unlike synthetic materials, it offers a snug and comfortable fit for the foot, and the shoe itself is less likely to be damaged by natural foot movement. Leather has strong elastic ‘memory,’ which provides optimal comfort for each individual foot, making it, essentially, a timeless material.

Leather also lasts longer than synthetic materials and is biodegradable.


Why Handcrafted?

Buying handcrafted leather shoes is an investment in both comfort and sustainability. Comfort, as we have pointed out, is inherent to leather, but by remaining true to the original artisanal method of handcrafting our footwear, we create a product of the highest quality. This translates into durability and, ultimately, sustainability.

While shoes produced on a mass-production line might seem like a more affordable option, handcrafted leather shoes are a worthy investment. We can restore your Mariano Shoes to their original condition, ensuring longevity and continued wear.
