History
Miles & Louie started in 2012 in Tijuana. The founders launched the brand to combine different materials and ideas. Since its inception, the company has developed its product range.
Manufacturing
Miles & Louie uses Goodyear welt construction in shoe making. Workers cut, treat, and assemble each item by hand. The company uses a manual process for every step and part of production.
Construction and materials
Goodyear welt construction attaches a strip called a welt to the upper and insole with a chain stitch. Makers then use a lock stitch to secure the outsole to the welt. The resulting cavity between layers of the sole is filled with a flexible compound. This technique shapes the shoe during wear.
Products
Miles & Louie produces men's and women's shoes, including boots, Derbies, Monkstraps, and loafers. The company also produces leather items such as bags, briefcases, and backpacks. Products are available for purchase on the company’s official website.
