It
all started with Allyson and Michael, who lived in
a small flat on a gas lantern-lit lane, nestled in
the heart of Boston's historic Beacon Hill. It was
on these winding alleys and cobblestone
passageways that Allyson learned the hard way the
importance of comfortable footwear. After months
of withstanding throbbing, blistering feet wearing
shoes that looked fashionable but could not
withstand the bumps and grinds of city walking,
Allyson decided to take matters into her own
hands. To create a collection of footwear that is
fashionable yet comfortable enough to walk, work
and play in. And what better place to look than in
the country of Michael's heritage - Italy, where
shoemaking has become an art form - where
resources in leathers and materials are
unparalleled.
