Product description
Where parts for refrigerators and submarines were once made in the Soviet era, there is now a creative district full of entrepreneurs, artists' and designers' studios and cosy cafés. Right in the middle of that district still stands the shoe factory where the Widgets come from.
Military sturdiness for every day
The factory works to the NATO quality standard AQAP 2110 and ISO 9001. That way of working stands for military quality and robustness, in a shoe with a creative background that you can wear every day.
Why patent leather in burgundy?
