DESIGNED IN SEATTLE, CRAFTED IN BRAZIL

We dreamt up The Performance Heel™ right here in Seattle and teamed up with a family-owned, multi-generational factory outside Porto Alegre, Brazil that has been producing shoes for over 50 years.

CARE

To keep your Performance Heels looking and feeling great, treat them with a damp cloth and a bit of leather conditioner 2-3 times a year.
