Duke + Dexter

UK · Est. 2015 · Mid-range

Duke + Dexter is a London footwear brand founded in 2015 by Archie Hewlett. It began with a distinct approach to the loafer and now offers a wider selection of men’s and women’s shoes. Its designs are developed at the brand’s Brixton headquarters, then made by shoemakers in Europe. Loafers remain a defining part of the range, from plain penny styles to printed designs and hand-painted pairs. The official shop also lists sneakers, boots, derbies and women’s Mary Janes. Customers interested in a personalized shoe can look at its made-to-order painted loafers, while those after a simpler everyday pair can browse the standard collections. Duke + Dexter sells directly through its website, where listings show UK, US and EU size options. The brand’s London design base should be distinguished from its European production: the manufacturing location and materials are best checked for the particular shoe. Its shoe-care guidance also gives owners advice on cleaning and storing different finishes, especially printed and painted styles.

Conker Shoes

UK · Est. 1977 · Mid-range

Conker Shoes has made leather footwear in Totnes, Devon, since 1977. Its workshop sits behind its high street shop, where customers can see ready-to-wear styles as well as discuss a pair made to order. The brand makes shoes, boots and sandals for women, men and children, all in its own Devon workshop. Customization is a practical part of Conker’s offering. Depending on the style, customers can choose colours, soles, stitching and details such as laces or buckles. Its website lists sizes 1–13, including half sizes and four fittings, giving shoppers more ways to address fit than a single standard width. Conker also offers zero-rise and barefoot options within its range. The shoes use stitched-down construction and are designed so the workshop can resole and repair them after wear. Shoppers can order through the official site or visit the Totnes store to try available pairs. For a custom order, check the fitting and delivery information for the chosen style before placing it.

Goral Shoes

UK · Est. 1936 · Mid-range

GORAL is a family shoemaking business with Polish roots and a factory in Sheffield, England. Franciszek Goral opened the original workshop in Poland in 1936. The family moved its shoemaking operation to Sheffield in 2005, and descendant Dominik Goral now leads the brand. Its current footwear draws on that manufacturing history while using shapes suited to everyday wear. GORAL makes leather sneakers, shoes and boots in its Sheffield factory. The selection includes low and high top sneakers, with some models offered in regular and wider fittings. Materials and construction vary by style, making the individual size and leather guides useful when choosing a pair. The brand also offers a factory resole and refurbishment service for eligible footwear. Customers can buy from GORAL’s official website, which explains its fit options and repair services. For anyone searching whether GORAL shoes are made in the UK, the relevant distinction is that the family workshop began in Poland, while the present brand’s shoes are made in Sheffield.

Crown Northampton

UK · Est. 1908 · Mid-range

Crown Northampton is the flagship footwear brand of a family shoemaking business established in 1908 by Ernest Woodford. The business began in London and later moved to Northampton, a town closely associated with English shoemaking. It remains under Woodford family ownership, with fifth-generation shoemaker Chris Woodford directing the company. The range brings traditional shoemaking methods to contemporary sneakers, shoes and boots. Its collections include understated leather sneakers and more substantial stitched styles. Crown says its footwear is made from start to finish in England, with every pair produced to order at its Northampton factory. That makes it useful to check the stated production time before purchasing, as an order is made specifically for the customer. Crown Northampton sells directly through its website and offers fitting guidance for shoppers comparing its sizes with familiar sneaker brands. Customers can also enquire about a factory appointment. The brand’s focus on individual production and local craftsmanship is central to its identity; materials and construction differ by collection, so the product page is the best reference for a particular pair.

Josepht

South Korea · Est. 2018 · Mid-range

Josepht, also styled JosephT, is a leather footwear brand that says it was born in Seoul in 2018. Jaechan Seol is closely associated with the business and writes about its history on the official site. Its selection centres on men’s shoes and boots, including loafers, derbies, Chelsea boots and more casual designs. The brand aims for familiar styles that can be worn often. Depending on the model, its shoes may use cushioned OrthoLite insoles, Vibram outsoles or welted construction; these details should be checked on the individual listing. Josepht says its products are made by skilled artisans at manufacturing facilities in Seoul, South Korea. There is a location distinction for shoppers: Josepht’s website describes its online retailer as based in Canada, while orders ship internationally from South Korea. The site sells directly and includes a sizing guide on each product page. Josepht recommends contacting its team for sizing help, especially for its Goodyear-welted collections, whose size exchanges are restricted. Its FAQ also distinguishes water-resistant leather footwear from waterproof shoes.

White Kloud

Japan · Est. 2005 · Mid-range

White Kloud is a Japanese custom boot workshop established by shoemaker Show Goto in 2005. Its central offering is a pair made for one customer by one craftsperson, who takes it through the stages from cutting the leather to attaching the sole. Customers seeking White Kloud bespoke boots should expect a workshop-led process rather than a standard selection of ready-to-wear sizes. Goto’s path to bootmaking included work with motorcycle boots, foot massage, shoemaking study and shoe repair. He says those experiences shaped his aim to make boots that are gentle on the feet. White Kloud combines the appearance of substantial leather boots with close attention to construction and individual fit; a visit to the workshop is part of its invitation to custom-order customers. The workshop is in Koshigaya, Saitama, outside central Tokyo. Its website also presents Jack & White Brothers, a separate, small-production boot line made with specialist Japanese craftspeople and offered through the online store. Check which line a listing belongs to before comparing availability, sizing or ordering arrangements.

Brass Tokyo

Japan · Est. 2007 · Mid-range

Brass Tokyo began in 2007 as a shoe repair workshop in Setagaya, Tokyo. Founder Minoru Tokuyama built the business around keeping well-loved footwear in use through repair and customization. That experience led to CLINCH BOOTS, Brass’s own footwear line, in 2012. Today, people searching for Brass Tokyo boots will usually encounter CLINCH alongside the workshop’s repair services. CLINCH makes leather boots and shoes in Brass’s workshop using shaped lasts and hand-sewn welted construction. Its approach draws on classic footwear, with an emphasis on how a pair fits, ages and can be repaired over time. The Brass site also carries related projects, including Bruschetta Shoes and shoe-care goods, so it helps to distinguish the workshop from its CLINCH brand when browsing. Brass has a store in Daita, Setagaya, and lists stockists for shoppers elsewhere. Its online shop offers a way to explore current models, while customers interested in a custom order or repair can contact the workshop directly. Check the store’s current opening information before visiting, as its holidays vary.

Hender Scheme

Japan · Est. 2010 · Luxury

Hender Scheme is a Japanese footwear and leather-goods label started in 2010 by designer Ryo Kashiwazaki. Its work questions familiar distinctions between men’s and women’s products and between industrial design and handcraft. Leather is central to the brand, especially in pieces intended to develop visible character through handling and wear. Footwear includes original designs and the manual industrial products line, which reinterprets familiar sneaker forms through a different, more manual production process. Hender Scheme also makes bags and other leather accessories. Its official site says the soles of the manual industrial products sneakers can be replaced, an important detail for shoppers considering long-term use. Materials and sizing vary by style, so the individual listing matters more than a single brand-wide fit rule. Customers can shop through Hender Scheme’s official sukima online store and physical stores in Japan. The label particularly suits someone interested in leather sneakers whose colour and surface will change with use, as well as a broader collection of everyday leather objects.

Guild Tokyo

Japan · Est. 1996 · Mid-range

Guild of Crafts is a Japanese shoemaking house founded in 1996 by Chihiro Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi began making shoes in Kyoto in 1980 and later studied shoemaking in England. He established Guild of Crafts at a time when bespoke shoes were still unfamiliar to many customers in Japan, developing the house’s own methods for measuring feet and making lasts. Guild offers bespoke, made-to-order and ready-to-wear footwear. Bespoke begins with the customer’s measurements and a dedicated last, followed by fittings. Made-to-order uses an established Guild last, while ready-to-wear provides a finished-shoe option. Its model lists include Oxfords, buckle shoes and boots, with designs for both men and women. Availability depends on the ordering route and model. The official website explains the different lines and accepts appointment enquiries for orders, maintenance and repairs. Guild is a useful brand to consider when comparing Japanese bespoke shoemakers because customers can see how its approach to fit carries across three ways of buying a shoe.

Marquess Shoemaker

Japan · Est. 2011 · Luxury

Marquess is a bespoke shoemaking atelier established in Tokyo in 2011 by Shoji Kawaguchi. His interest in British footwear took him to Northampton, where he studied shoemaking, and later to training with bespoke maker Paul Wilson. Kawaguchi returned to Japan in 2008 and opened Marquess three years later. The atelier moved to Ginza in 2017. Marquess is known for understated leather shoes whose shape, fit and finishing receive close attention. A bespoke order starts with a meeting and foot measurements. The team makes a wooden last for the client, tests the fit with a trial shoe and adjusts the last before making the final pair by hand. The website shows Oxfords, derbies and other designs for men, as well as examples of women’s shoes. The atelier also offers made-to-order styles, where customers choose from existing models and select details such as leather and sole type. Bespoke enquiries require an appointment. Marquess is most relevant to shoppers seeking a personal fitting process and classic shoes they intend to maintain and wear for years.

Spigola

Japan · Est. 2001 · Luxury

Spigola is a bespoke shoemaking brand established in Kobe, Japan, in 2001 by Koji Suzuki. Born in Kobe, Suzuki travelled to Italy in 1997 and trained in Florence under shoemaker Roberto Ugolini. After three years of study, he returned home and began making bespoke shoes from space in his father’s workshop in Kobe’s Nagata district. Bespoke footwear remains central to Spigola. Its website also presents a prêt-à-porter collection described as pattern-order footwear, and Suzuki’s official biography dates the launch of that line to 2011. The distinction matters for shoppers: commissioning a bespoke pair and ordering from an established pattern are different ways to access the maker’s designs. Spigola’s atelier is in Hosoda-cho, Kobe, with weekend visits requiring a reservation. The brand’s identity brings together Suzuki’s Italian shoemaking training and his work in a Japanese footwear-producing city. Anyone considering an order should contact the atelier about the available styles, fitting process and appointment arrangements before travelling.

Hiro Yanagimachi

Japan · Est. 1999 · Luxury

Hiro Yanagimachi is a bespoke shoemaking workshop in Tokyo, founded in 1999 by Hiroyuki Yanagimachi. After studying industrial design, Yanagimachi went to England to learn shoemaking at London Cordwainers College and gain experience with bespoke techniques. He began his own brand on returning to Japan and later developed a workshop team. Customers can choose among made-to-order, made-to-measure and bespoke shoes. The distinction is how the last—the form used to build the shoe—is prepared. Made-to-order uses one of the workshop’s established lasts; made-to-measure adjusts a base last; bespoke starts with a last made for the individual customer and includes trial fittings. The workshop offers lace-up shoes, loafers and other styles, with design choices depending on the order method. Visits to its Sendagaya workshop are by appointment. Customers can discuss fit with the people making their shoes, and the brand says enquiries and appointments can be handled in English. That makes its ordering process particularly relevant to international shoppers considering Japanese bespoke footwear.

Yohei Fukuda

Japan · Est. 2008 · Luxury

Yohei Fukuda is a Tokyo shoemaker founded in 2008 by its namesake. Fukuda learned shoemaking in England, including training in Northamptonshire and work with London firms, before returning to Japan to establish his workshop. He oversees the design, last making and shoemaking alongside a small team of craftspeople. The business offers several ways to buy its classic men’s shoes: ready-to-wear, made-to-order, house-style bespoke and fully bespoke. Its ready-to-wear shoes draw on the workshop’s bespoke methods and are hand lasted and hand welted. Fit remains central to the offer; the online store lists several width options and provides a size guide, while made-to-order enquiries and appointments can be arranged through the Tokyo store. Fukuda is especially relevant to someone comparing Japanese bespoke shoemakers with British-influenced dress-shoe styling. The different order routes matter: a customer choosing an existing size is buying a different fitting experience from someone commissioning a pair around a personalised last. The official sites explain those options before an appointment or purchase.

Mint & Rose

Spain · Est. 2012 · Affordable

mint&rose is a Spanish women’s footwear and accessories brand founded by Monti Gutiérrez Benavides. The project began in 2012, initially developing espadrilles for a market where Monti saw few options beyond traditional designs. It later expanded its presence in Spain; the brand identifies Valladolid as the location of its offices. Espadrilles remain an important part of mint&rose, joined by sandals, ballet flats, loafers, boots, bags and smaller accessories. The company says its current shoe and bag collections are designed and manufactured in Spain. It describes espadrille production in Murcia and shoe production in Elda, drawing on the distinct footwear skills of those regions. Customers can shop the official website for flat and wedge espadrilles, sandals and styles for other seasons. The brand is particularly relevant to someone looking for a Spanish-made espadrille within a broader, coordinated wardrobe of shoes and bags. Individual product pages give the clearest view of each item’s materials, heel height and available sizes.

Beatnik Shoes

Spain · Est. 2014 · Mid-range

Beatnik Shoes is a Spanish footwear brand established in 2014. It designs shoes for women and men around familiar dress-shoe forms, then adds colour, contrast and details that give the pairs a stronger identity. Its shoes are made with a family workshop in Almansa, a Spanish town with a long shoemaking tradition. Oxfords, loafers, monk straps and boots form the core of the collection. Shoppers will find restrained leather styles alongside two-tone Oxfords and brighter finishes. Beatnik describes the use of selected leathers, carefully developed lasts and stitched soles; its site identifies Blake construction as part of its approach. These details matter when comparing the shoes’ shape, flexibility and potential for repair. The brand sells through its website, with product pages showing the materials and sizing for each style. Beatnik is a relevant option for someone who likes classic leather shoes but wants a pair that feels more expressive. The official pages reviewed confirm the 2014 start, but do not identify Juan Manuel Alonso as founder, so that attribution needs separate verification.

Casa Hernanz

Spain · Est. 1845 · Affordable

Casa Hernanz is a family-run espadrille shop in Madrid that dates to 1845. Artisan Toribio Hernanz opened it near Plaza Mayor to sell espadrilles and practical goods to people arriving from the surrounding countryside. Successive generations kept the business on Calle de Toledo, where the shop remains today. Traditional flat espadrilles are its best-known offering, alongside wedges, platforms and styles for women, men and children. The shop also sells rope, basketry, sacks and other goods made with natural fibres. That wider selection reflects its history as a working shop rather than a footwear label built around seasonal collections. Visitors can shop at Calle de Toledo 18, while a smaller selection of espadrilles is available online. Many listed styles are handmade in Spain, but shoppers should check individual descriptions: the store also carries products identified with other makers, including Gaimo. Casa Hernanz is especially useful for someone seeking a classic Spanish espadrille and the experience of visiting a long-standing Madrid shop.

Macarena Shoes

Spain · Est. 1972 · Affordable

Macarena Shoes is a Spanish women’s footwear brand rooted in Arnedo, La Rioja, a town known for shoemaking. The brand was founded in 1972.

Those are specific material choices; shoppers interested in a pair’s composition should still check its individual product details. Macarena is a useful option for people seeking Spanish-made espadrilles beyond the simplest rope-soled flat. Its online store groups styles by type, making it possible to compare an understated everyday pair with a dressier wedge or platform while staying within the same brand.

Naguisa

Spain · Est. 2012 · Affordable

Naguisa is a Spanish women’s footwear label founded in 2012 by product designer Claudia Pérez Polo and architect Pablo Izquierdo López. The pair started with a fresh interpretation of the traditional espadrille, using jute soles to create shoes intended for comfortable walking as well as everyday dressing. The brand’s name refers to the pattern that the surf draws on a shoreline. Espadrilles remain at the centre of the collection, but Naguisa also offers sandals, flats and boots. Its shoes are made by hand in Spanish artisan workshops. The emphasis on jute, stitching and wearable shapes gives the label a recognisable identity across warm-weather styles, while its wider range offers options beyond the classic summer espadrille. Naguisa sells through its website and is stocked in more than 20 countries, according to the brand. Shoppers looking for Spanish-made espadrilles may find it particularly relevant if they want an artisanal construction with a more contemporary silhouette. Individual product pages and the brand’s FAQs provide the best guidance on materials and fit.

Customers can shop through the brand’s website or visit its Atlanta location. Cobbler Union is especially relevant to people looking for a US-based seller of European-made dress shoes with distinctive finishing, while still wanting familiar styles they can wear regularly.

Idrese

USA · Est. 2018 · Luxury

Idrese is a US footwear brand launched in 2018, with Jawad Malik identified by the company as a co-founder.

Idrese sells through its own website and provides a size guide and international delivery information. For shoppers comparing American footwear brands, the key distinction is its US brand identity paired with production in Almansa.

Carmina Shoemaker

Spain · Est. 1997 · Mid-range

Carmina Shoemaker is a family footwear brand from Mallorca, Spain. José Albaladejo Pujadas founded Carmina in 1997, opening its first store in Palma. The newer brand grew from a much longer Albaladejo family shoemaking tradition on the island, which the company traces to 1866. Its shoes are made in Mallorca, with the family workshop associated with the town of Inca. Carmina makes leather footwear for women and men, including Oxfords, derbies, loafers, monk straps and boots. Goodyear welt construction is central to its work, and customers can choose among different lasts, leathers and soles. Alongside its regular collections, the brand offers custom options for shoppers who want to select details for a pair. Carmina’s appeal lies in its breadth: someone searching for a classic black Oxford can also compare less common leathers and contemporary shapes within the same shoemaking house. Its website sells directly and offers information on styles and fit, while its original Palma store remains part of the brand’s presence on Mallorca.

Norman Vilalta

Spain · Est. 2004 · Luxury

Norman Vilalta is a Barcelona shoemaker specialising in men’s bespoke, made-to-order and ready-to-wear footwear. Originally a lawyer in Argentina, Vilalta trained in shoemaking in Florence before establishing his own Barcelona workshop in 2004. For roughly his first decade as a shoemaker, he worked exclusively on bespoke pairs, building shoes around individual clients’ feet and developing his approach to pattern making and finishing. That experience now shapes the ready-to-wear collection. Vilalta designs his own lasts and is known for an asymmetric pattern and distinctive pitched heel. His shoes and boots are finished by hand; the brand says this stage takes several hours per pair. The Condal Collection brings elements of his bespoke practice to shoes available in standard sizes. Shoppers can explore the collections online or visit the Barcelona store on Carrer d’Enric Granados. Vilalta appeals particularly to people interested in expressive designs, hand-finished leather and the connection between a shoemaker’s bespoke work and his ready-to-wear range.
