Marikina Made 100% Genuine Leather All of our shoes are handcrafted by skilled local shoemakers, or "Sapateros," who are from Marikina, the Philippines' "Shoe Capital," using only real leather. It's possible to see some lines and imperfections, as well as variations in color and texture. These are the only features of leather that are genuine and authentic, which is what gives each pair of our shoes its own individuality.
