Welcome to our Website

It is a true pleasure for me to welcome you to the website of our workshop. I do hope that the new site will be more legible and easier to navigate yet retain the atmosphere of the previous one and, therefore, will be well received.

For over a hundred and twenty years we have continuously been making custom's made shoes, completing individual orders for people who value classic designs, comfort and the unique appeal of handicraft products.

As at the beginning of the existence of our workshop, all activities related to completing orders are still solely handmade. We do not use any machines which would replace the work of our shoemakers. The shoes are still being made of natural leather imported from the best tanneries in the world. While discussing the design, the customer can make free choices concerning every detail of the order and the possible orthopedic problems will always be reflected in the appropriate shape of the shoes’ inside.

Apart from classic shoes of formal style, we also offer more casual weekend shoes and sport shoes for playing golf and riding horses. Our offer also includes very light shoes for driving.

Accessories in the form of belts and wallets made in accordance with individual orders are perfect supplements of the wardrobe.

I invite you to visit our gallery where several dozens of shoe models exemplify our abilities. They are made of a wide range of leathers and on lasts of various shapes. The presentation shows that, next to the classic trend, we are eager to introduce more modern ideas and combine various conventions.

I also encourage you to visit the head office of our company at 6 Chmielna Street in Warsaw where the masters, Mr Andrzej Dabrowski or Mr Janusz Urban, will carefully take the measurement of both your feet and the orders will be thoroughly discussed.

And if you are interested in the “best British clothing for the worst British weather”, I invite you to the small salon of the BARBOUR company which, for almost ten years, has been located under our roof. Should the need arise, we will be able to provide you with perfect contact details with that respectable company in order to import a given item of the rich catalogue offer.

In the end, I would like to draw your attention to the ample choice of men’s socks and knee-socks of the latest collection of the BURLINGTON company.


With kind regards,

Maciej Kielman
