About

EOS Footwear is a family-owned Australian footwear brand founded in Melbourne in 1984 by David Midgley. The company represents several generations of the Midgley family’s involvement in shoemaking, shoe machinery, design, and component development. David now works alongside his son Oliver, the fourth generation of Midgley shoemakers. EOS women’s shoes include boots, ankle boots, sandals, sneakers, loafers, heels, flats, and casual slip-on styles. The designs focus on bringing together comfort, fit, useful shapes, and contemporary styling. This makes the collection suitable for work, travel, weekends, changing seasons, and regular daily wear. EOS is known for using pure aniline leather, which retains natural markings and variation instead of having a heavily corrected surface. Hand finishing gives each pair its own color and texture. The brand’s designers, developers, component specialists, and craftspeople work together on a development process that can take several months for each seasonal collection. For shoppers searching for Australian leather shoes, EOS Footwear offers women’s footwear with durable natural materials, carefully considered construction, supportive comfortable shapes, and a long-standing family shoemaking history that connects traditional knowledge with modern design.

Maison Toufet featured image

Maison Toufet

France · Est. 2015 · Mid-range

Marion Toufet founded Maison Toufet in Paris in 2015, building on a family background in shoemaking. The women’s footwear label designs in France and works with a workshop near Porto, Portugal, to make its shoes. Its collection includes loafers, ballet flats, sneakers, ankle boots and sandals, with individual styles named after women who inspire the founder. Maison Toufet focuses on wearable shapes and materials that can stand up to repeated use. The brand says it produces in small batches and sometimes uses preorders to align production with demand. It identifies Leather Working Group certified leather, some partially recycled soles and recycled or FSC-certified packaging among its choices. Its Portuguese workshop generates part of its electricity through solar panels. Many current product listings offer EU sizes 36–41, though availability and fit advice depend on the model. Maison Toufet sells directly through its online shop; its product descriptions identify the leather, construction and care requirements of individual shoes.

Pied de Biche

France · Est. 2015 · Mid-range

Friends Jérôme Maître and Matthieu Bourgeaux launched Pied de Biche in France in 2015. Its first product was a Chelsea boot funded through a crowdfunding campaign; the brand has since grown into a broad leather footwear range for women and men. Women’s styles include ankle boots, loafers, derbies, ballet flats, sandals and sneakers, while the men’s collection covers boots, dress shoes, boat shoes and sneakers. Pied de Biche develops its collections in La Rochelle and works with shoemaking workshops in Portugal’s Porto region. It says most of its leather comes from northern Italy. The designs revisit familiar shoes through colour, material and small changes in detail, keeping the original Chelsea boot central to the range. Customers can buy through the brand’s online shop and its French stores. The label opened its first Paris store in 2017 and subsequently expanded its retail presence. Its product pages provide the fit information for each model, which matters across a collection containing both structured leather boots and softer casual shoes.

Nelson Made featured image

Nelson Made

Australia · Est. 2018 · Mid-range

Artist and designer Jamie Nelson established Nelson Made in Australia in 2018. The women’s footwear label focuses on sculptural shapes that still work in an everyday wardrobe. Its collection includes sandals, flats, mules, heels, boots and sneakers, often using a change in proportion or an unusual curve to make a simple shoe feel distinctive. Materials are a substantial part of the brand’s approach. Nelson Made uses recycled leather in some designs and says it buys most of its conventional leather from Leather Working Group certified suppliers, with exceptions for certain specialty materials. It also lists vegetable-tanned leather, organic linen and certified fabrics among its material choices. Those details vary by shoe; the range as a whole is not leather-free. Nelson Made’s size guide covers EU 35–43 and provides corresponding foot lengths. The brand sells directly online and through Australian retailers, including selected David Jones stores in Sydney and Melbourne, The New Trend, The Iconic and The UNDONE.
