Crafted With Purpose

Story
The Cartinosstory began and continues in Xiamen, China and Southwest Michigan. Our co-founder spent 8 years in the Xiamen factory, learning the craft and Chinese culture en route to creating Cartinosin 2016.
Together, we identified the opportunity to build Goodyear-welt footwear using premium leather components, delivered directly to consumers.

Mission
Our priority is putting customers in a shoe that fits them by offering multiple widths and lasts. We feel this has been lost in the market today. We encourage customers to ask our team for assistance to ensure the best possible fit.
Concept
Utilizing leathers and components from boutique businesses worldwide, together, we can create non-disposable footwear that fits properly. To buy better and acquire less, supporting craftsmanship.Ā
Behind every Goodyear-welt shoe is a team of shoemakers.
