Adelante does small-batch footwear right. They use only premium materials and sustainable manufacturing practices, and to ensure the quality is top-tier, they work with local artisans in Pastores, Guatemala—a town with a boot statue at its entrance and the moniker “bootmaking capital of Guatemala.” For these cobblers, bootmaking has been a way of life for generations, and it shows in every meticulous detail of the footwear they craft. With each pair made-to-order in a business model that creates sustainable employment in Guatemala, Adelante is raising the bar—straight from the cobbler to the customer. |
