Master craftsman skills for top-class shoes

Specialist expertise and know-how combined with outstanding craftsmanship are the essential preconditions for the “master craftsman shoe-making” that characterises development, technology and production at GANTER. Experienced engineers and skilled workers apply love of detail together with their huge personal dedication to produce distinctive high-quality shoes.

Even today, the making of a pair of shoes requires an average of 100 work stages – from the model and design department, through leather selection and sole production to critical final inspection. Although machines make production easier, manual skills are absolutely essential when it comes to those processes that require the maximum quality, such as cutting, dressing, hand-folding, lining, quilting, stitching and roughening.

The painstaking care of the craftsman combined with the use of only natural materials, from the insole to the upper, are GANTER’s guarantee of perfect shoes. Workmanship quality down to the smallest detail is reflected in the perfect seams and linings, the sturdy lacing and the ease of adjustment of the buckles – that too is part of a shoe that is true to the needs of your feet.
