The Alberto Fermani story began fifty years ago when Albert first followed his passion for design to the hills above Italy's Adriatic coast, where he learned the art of Italian shoemaking. His deep passion for impeccable craftsmanship and his conviction that luxury begins and ends with quality guided him then and still guides the company today. The tradition and innovation continue in the very workshop that Alberto founded. And while Alberto Fermani’s shoes and boots are known for their amazing comfort, they are also appreciated for their clean lines, expert detailing and chic edge.
