Shoto

Shoto is a family footwear business that began in the 1960s, built on a shared love of leather. The family started with the raw materials and learned, through skill and experience, to turn them into shoes. Three generations on, the craft has passed from father to son, and today it is shaped by Stefano and his brother Simone, who brings the creative side. Every pair is made entirely in-house, and Shoto is happy for that to show. The maker's hand leaves small imperfections, which the label treats as a sign of authenticity. Vintage finishes on both the leather shoes and the sneakers give each pair its own character. Shoto says its aim is to join quality with style, using innovative materials and designs that keep evolving.
