Discover the patient art of slow fashion and artisanal shoemaking.
What makes LUPEN footwear special?
At LUPEN, every pair is made with care, patience, and intention. We use premium full-grain leather, skilled handcrafting, and thoughtful construction to create shoes that feel refined, comfortable, and built to last—not just look good on day one.
Are LUPEN shoes actually handcrafted?
Yes, every pair of LUPEN footwear is carefully handcrafted by our artisans in Pune.
Do all LUPEN shoes use Goodyear welt construction?
No, while Goodyear welt is our signature construction for longevity, we also use other premium constructions like Blake and Cemented for specific styles. Each product page clearly tells you which one you’re getting.
Why would I choose a Goodyear-welted shoe?
Goodyear-welted shoes are known for their exceptional durability, water resistance, and the ability to be resoled multiple times. They tend to get more comfortable the more you wear them.
Are non-welted LUPEN shoes still premium?
Absolutely. Every LUPEN shoe is made using premium materials and expert craftsmanship. The difference lies in how the shoe is built, not in its quality or finish.
Where are LUPEN shoes made?
LUPEN footwear is crafted in our own manufacturing unit in Pune, Maharashtra, by skilled artisans who take pride in their craft.
Personal Fit
Fit & Longevity
A lifetime of comfort starts with the perfect measurement.
Do LUPEN shoes fit true to size?
LUPEN shoes generally fit true to size. If you're between sizes or have specific fit concerns, we recommend choosing your regular dress shoe size or reaching out to our team for personalized advice.
What width are LUPEN shoes made in?
Our shoes are made in a standard width, offering a balanced fit that feels comfortable while maintaining a clean, refined shape.
Will the shoes feel stiff at first?
Like all high-quality leather shoes, LUPEN footwear may feel a little firm initially. However, full-grain leather is designed to soften and conform to your foot with wear, offering a more comfortable fit over time.
Can I wear LUPEN shoes for long hours?
Yes. We design our shoes with comfort in mind, using high-quality materials and thoughtful construction to ensure they feel good even during long days of wear.
How long will a pair of LUPEN shoes last?
With proper care, LUPEN shoes are made to last for years. Goodyear-welted styles can last even longer with resoling, making them a true long-term investment.
Can LUPEN shoes be resoled?
Yes. Our Goodyear-welted shoes are designed to be resoled multiple times, allowing you to enjoy your favorite pair for years to come.
Preservation
Care & Versatility
Nurturing the natural beauty and character of premium full-grain leather.
How should I take care of my LUPEN shoes?
A little care goes a long way. Wipe them clean after use, condition the leather occasionally, use shoe trees to maintain shape, and avoid excessive moisture. With regular care, your shoes will age beautifully.
Will the leather change with wear?
Yes, and that’s the beauty of it. Full-grain leather develops a unique patina over time, reflecting your experiences and making each pair truly your own.
Are LUPEN shoes formal or casual?
LUPEN shoes are designed to be versatile. Many of our styles can easily transition from formal settings to more relaxed occasions, depending on how you style them.
