OUR LEGACY

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

The journey that began nearly 30 years ago

Twin brothers David and Avi Ben Zikry grew up watching their father make shoes in his factory in a small town in Israel. Surrounded by the intoxicating aroma of leather and the pungent smell of glue that permeated the air, their fascination of witnessing leather elements meticulously transformed into fashionable and comfortable shoes inspired them to try their own hands at emulating their father Isaac’s craft.
