FOREVER COOL FOOTWEAR.
Hundreds of years ago, shepherds had no escape from the elements so they created a tightly woven wool fabric called burel. Now our sneakers use this heritage material,which is handcrafted from locally sourced wool by highly skilled artisans on antique machines with histories as impressive as the material they create. The result is products that are as enduring as their traditional roots—which is why we consider these “the old sneakers in the world.”
