KLEMAN Padror Noir

As we sought a footwear option bridging the gap between our traditional Goodyear welted offerings and the casual feel of Novesta sneakers, our quest led us to the French family-owned Cléon Manufacture and their KLEMAN brand. Beyond the 'Made in France' distinction, KLEMAN emerges as a European hidden gem with a storied lineage and a distinctive style.

Padror is a model based off a classic Tyrolean shoes - back in the day, those were used as mountain shoes, but nowadays feel perfectly in place as a casual-but-classic design.

Made in France using European leather.

These Kleman shoes might become your favourite everyday go-to pair, being suitable for almost any occasion when leather-soled shoes would be a bit too much, but a pair of sneakers not enough. Solid construction and thick sole will get you through even the toughest of the weather - puddles, snow and mud are not a problem for those.
