Alojz Karner Handcrafted Shoes

AK Alojz Karner is a unique boutique workshop located in Žiri, Slovenia, dedicated to exploring and reviving the traditional craft of shoemaking. Our mission is to create exclusive, individually personalized, and fully handmade shoes using the welted construction method.

Artisanal Craftsmanship

At Alojz Karner, every pair of shoes is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans who take pride in employing time-honored techniques. The stitching that connects the welt, the shoe upper, and the insole serves as the main structural element, ensuring durability and longevity.

Quality Materials

We exclusively use natural leather for our shoes, which allows them to mold perfectly to the shape of your foot. This natural material not only enhances comfort but also contributes to the overall aesthetic appeal of each pair.

Sustainable Footwear

All AK shoes are designed with a focus on sustainability. The construction method used ensures that each pair can be easily resoled and repaired, making them a responsible choice for the environmentally conscious consumer. This commitment extends the life of your footwear, reducing the need for replacements.

Comfort and Durability

Our shoes are not just beautiful; they are also built for comfort. The combination of quality craftsmanship, premium materials, and innovative design ensures that your AK shoes will be reliable companions for many years to come.
