Adelante Shoe Co.

I stumbled across this company at the SOWA Marketplace in South Boston a few months back. With some gentle encouragement from my wife, I ordered a pair of the Valparaiso boots. First, they take several measurements of your foot. I have really high arches, and my ankles are a little narrow, so there are a few things that make fitting shoes difficult for me. Secondly, they give you a swatch of different leather colors to choose from. This is awesome for me because I like my shoes to be a little more eclectic.The order was sent to the cobbler, who is from Guatemela. They actually pay their cobblers a lot more than the average worker makes in that country, so it makes you feel good that you can support a company that pays their workers more than basic income. To make a long story short, I have been wearing my new boots for about a month. I don't know if all custom made shoes are this good, but they have got to be the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn! I cannot say enough good things about my new boots. Keep up the good work Adelante, you have a customer for life!

Great experience. Don't be intimidated. Shoes are amazing quality and they walk you through each step of the process.nnThe price is really fair for a good year welted recraftable shoe. One of the only places that makes quality good year welted shoes for women.

Great costumer service, good cause, durable and high quality products. Comparatively reasonable prices-

So I bought my 1st pair of Adelante shoes as a Xmas present for my self during your Black Friday sale & not happy at all. So I try out a pair at your DC stand & the 11.5 shoe for ole a glove n I chose to wait until after Xmas delivery so I could get the shoe care for free like you guys advertised. Well the shoes arrived on 12-23 n they did not fit at all. To make matters worse you guys did not send me the shoe care as a gift like you advertised. When I ask you guys over email about exchange n what happened to the shoe care you guys responded since the shoes arrived before Xmas then I would not get that. I’m like no you guys decided to send it before Xmas rigatoni’s it’s on you. I opted to wait after Christmas. You can not offer something then take it back because the shoes were deliver 2 days before Christmas. The shoes still took over 10 days to arrived n that is just bad business practices. Shoes are going back. Was going to just exchange it but the respond you guys gave me over email left me with a bad taste in my mouth ud83eudd28. Take note of good costumer service from @Nordstrom or @bloomingdales they do know how to take care of their costumers. Bad service n false advertisement would not get you far in this day and age. Now you guys are saying I never respond to the email where about waiting until after Xmas delivery. You guys never send one and after waiting 10 days for some kind of status in my order I had to email to see the stats. What a joke. Shoes took 16 days to arrived, they do not fit. Since you guys are saying I never opted for the offer (when I did when I was buying the shoes) then the shoes should had arrived within 10 days like you say in your website. @adelanteshoeco

Beautiful shoes with a great purpose. Love the thought and effort put in to ensuring a high quality product, while communicating the positive impact each purchase makes on the Guatemalan craftsmen making the shoes.
