Hardrige is a brand of hand stitched shoes. The values and force of the brand derive from a heritage stretching back over a hundred years.
In the 50s Les Chaussures du Dauphiné designed and made walking boots in Sillans for use in extreme conditions. At the beginning of the 60s the company used new technologies and dedicated part of its production to ski boots for the Le Trappeur brand. The company provided ski boots for several French skiing teams.
In 2012, the founder's three children started running the family business and perpetuating its values.
Hardrige shoes follow the Goodyear and Norwegian traditional techniques which need more than 150 operations. The secret of Hardrige's quality is due to the specific choice of leather from only French traditional tanneries. The small family business knows how to evolve designing new modern lines, each year more successfully.
