Louis Vuitton Shoes

It goes without saying that Louis Vuitton is one of the world’s most recognizable luxury brands. Lesser known is that Louis Vuitton's status as elite producers of leather goods and fashion accessories has translated particularly well into shoe design.

Since stepping into shoes in 1998, the French house has taken great strides to become a major player in the shoemaking world. Louis Vuitton offerings for the feet, from couture-worthy sneakers to knee-high boots and made-to-order bespoke shoes, are as coveted as bags and cases emblazoned with the distinctive LV logo.

But unlike their arm candy and travel trunks, which are made in France, Louis Vuitton footwear is produced in Venice, Italy. Thanks to the company's well-seasoned design chops and standards of excellence along with the superlative Venetian artisanal approach to craftsmanship, Louis Vuitton's cobbler-made creations have the high style and peerless quality one would expect.
