About Us

Classic style that unites impeccable design with old world craftsmanship, creating truly comfortable, walkable shoes that are built to last.

 

It all starts in Mill Valley, California, just northwest of San Francisco. Our founder, Bruce Katz, called this gorgeous part of the Golden Coast home and drew inspiration for every design from the region. We continue to honor his family’s legacy of shoemaking and generations of expertise in engineering the world’s most comfortable shoes.

 

When the design is flawless, incorporating our proprietary technological advances and scientific evidence about foot health, every pair is handcrafted by skilled artisans in Portugal and Brazil who bring Hubbards to life. We obsess together over every batch of soft and luxurious leather or German-made 100% Merino wool. Every material in the lining. Every line and stitch. 

 

From the Hubbard Comfort System with removable memory foam insoles to riveted eyelets, to shock absorbent outsoles and frictionless linings, to designing shoes that are made to be resoled when you’re ready, no detail goes unconsidered. So you don’t have to think about your shoes, you can simply enjoy them for years to come.
