“Pikolinos was established in 1984 by its current president, Juan Peran Ramos. The main idea behind its creation was product development based on the design, quality and originality of a unique shoe.”
What makes Pikolinos Unique:
“Pikolinos currently devotes 80% of its production to export. The destination countries mainly include United States, France, Germany, Italy and Russia, among others. Pikolinos is in about 60 countries, has over 20 official stores and over 8000 points of sale around the World.
Pikolinos is committed to environment conservation; therefore, through all its management and production processes, the company seeks to have minimal impact on nature. The majority of products manufactured are vegetable tanned, uses water-based dyes and solvent free glues which considerably reduce any environmental impact. Even the shoe boxes are environmentally friendly and made with recycled cardboard.
Pikolinos has its own personality: handcrafted with hand sewn natural leather that is both soft and durable to create a comfort shoe, with exclusive designs and unique colours which are constant features in all the brand’s collections.
Pikolinos commitment to quality begins before the shoe’s design and manufacture: the first step is the leather selection. The Pikolinos leather is from the best quality cattle hide. [Their] leathers undergo an exclusive leather treatment process using the products and natural waxes. Their leather is treated with casein, a protein found in milk which adhere to pores of the leather and provides its radiant shine and natural look. Pikolinos leathers do not contain any resins or plastic films for protection. As a result, the pores remain intact which allows your feet to breathe with ease.” -Pikolinos
