Dundas Footwear

Dundas Footwear was founded in Oslo in 2011. The business operates from this location using locally based facilities.

Dundas Footwear specializes in bench-made leather footwear using handcrafted production methods. The company maintains a focus on manual shoemaking techniques throughout its manufacturing process.

Dundas Footwear sources leathers from specific European tanneries. The Type 01 boot is made using Italian vegetable-tanned cow leather from Badalassi in Tuscany. Other products incorporate Horween Chromexcel leather and suede in different finishes.

Dundas Footwear produces various footwear models such as the Type 01 Black Chromexcel, finished in 2mm combination-tanned Horween Chromexcel leather. The Type 01 Cognac uses fully vegetable-tanned cow leather from Badalassi in Tuscany. Other products include the Type 02 Chelsea Boot, made from vegetable-tanned Minerva Negro leather, and the Type 02 George Boot.

Several models reference materials or inspiration, like the Type 01 Orca, which draws on Norwegian fisherman’s boot design. The brand also produces models such as Type 01 Tundra, Type 01 Oliva, Type 01 Petrolio, and Type 01 Black Zug, which uses zug grain leather from Horween. A range of suede and Chromexcel leather options are used in models like Type 01 Mustard Suede and Type 01 Dark Brown Chromexcel.
