Hi All,

Once again I would like to show all of you the type of work our Spanish craftsmen are able to do.
In this occasion I have written an article about the full process of a bespoke shoe made by the Argentinian Norman Vilalta, a pupil of Mr. Stefano Bemer.

Because I really would like to stress that in Spain we have very good and reputable craftsmen, I have managed to add a Google translator to the page in order to let you get at least the main points in your own language.

I have also added a video at the end of the article which resumes the mentioned course. (It also has audio)

I hope you enjoy and leave us your always wise comments

He only does bespoke shoes in Barcelona. However he is getting ready to launch a RTW line, but I think that distribution will be very limited as well.

Vilalta is probably the best shoemaker in Spain, and in other range Albadalejo is the other great shoemaker in my country.
