Our shoes are handmade in Spain and offer the guarantee of Valverde del Camino. Valverde is a town where the manufacture of handmade footwear has become an art and part of its culture.
At José de Mora we are specialists in shoe craftsmanship who have followed this family tradition, adapting to the new times without ever losing the essence of the Valverde shoemaker, the quality and care that he gives to his footwear. In this post we want to give you 7 reasons why choosing handmade footwear is the best option.
1) Raw materials are of good quality. A shoemaker only works with the best raw materials, something that is not usually the case in industrial manufacturing, which is committed to reducing costs. The use of these materials will provide aesthetic benefits, since they have a neat appearance, but also functional benefits, adapting better to our skin and being more resistant.
2) The shoes are more resistant and durableAs mentioned in the previous point, the material gives it durability and resistance, since materials of inferior quality deteriorate very quickly with use, they crack or lose color and also the joints in which good products have not been used or have not been sewn properly end up coming loose easily. However, in a handmade shoe, the passage of time is not noticeable in the same way, with adequate maintenance and cleaning, they can be used for years as if they were new.
3) Handcrafted footwear stands out for its comfort. Given the malleability of the materials used to make handmade shoes, these shoes tend to be flexible, without deforming in order to adapt to the foot without damaging it. In addition, since they are natural, they breathe, reducing the possibility of allergies, fungus or bad odors and, above all, making them comfortable after wearing them for long days.
4) The finish is impeccable. The shoemaker takes care of the details of each of the pieces he makes, devoting the time that each one requires. This is the reason why the assembly of the pieces and the finishes cannot be compared with those of footwear manufactured by industrial machines.
5) Handmade footwear is the most cost-effective option. Taking into account all the above points we can ask ourselves different questions: Do I want to buy shoes that are durable and do not look old and worn after a few uses? Do I want a comfortable shoe that allows me to enjoy my day to day without thinking about my feet? Do I want footwear that makes my look look more elegant since its finish and quality can be seen at a glance? If the three answers are yes, Don't hesitate, you should buy a handmade shoe. Another type of footwear may seem comfortable, cheap and of good quality, but you will undoubtedly see that after several uses, the three qualities will inevitably decrease, which will force you to buy another one very soon.
6) Each pair is unique. The designs of industrially manufactured brands are adapted to the passing fashion of a given moment. The designs of their own manufacture seek elegance and have the classic touch offered by the materials they are made of. The person who chooses them seeks to break away from the homogeneity of multinational companies, looking for their own style, a unique and timeless piece.
7) Betting on artisanal shoes is betting on culture and tradition. At José de Mora we try to maintain the shoemaking tradition of Valverde del Camino by remaining faithful to its legacy, trying to make the quality footwear that your feet deserve.
