KLEMAN

Founded in France in 1988, the family-run Kleman boasts enduring popularity today through original design and a sturdy, durable footwear collection. Brothers Alex and Mathieu Kleman, grandsons of founder René Kleman — who returned from war in 1945 and started the brand by making leather boots — carry forward their grandfather's pragmatic philosophy. Derbies, loafers, and Chelsea boots are precisely handmade in France using leather from eco-certified tanneries.
