Worldwide, 11 billion pairs of shoes are produced each year. So, in terms of quantity, Vein is not a big player.
And that’s a fact we’re proud of.
You see, we make shoes for exceptional individuals, like you. Men who value superior footwear.
Men who understand that WHY a shoe was made is just as important as how it was made.
At Vein, the WHY is very simple and clear … we handcraft shoes that say everything you want to, without saying a word. The answer to “how” we do it is equally simple and clear … it comes from over 25 years hand crafting the finest shoes for men.
For example, to create sleek lines and slim profile, 600 pounds of pressure must be applied to the leather in 2 dimensions. Yet to create the tightest curves and beautiful lines that are the signature of a Vein shoe, our craftspeople have learned how to apply 800 pounds of pressure … on 3 dimensions. Only elite cobblers will take the extra time to do it, and invest in the specialised tools. We do it because it is what you’d expect from Australia’s premier footwear designer.
