Our Heritage
We’re not just another footwear brand.
With 30 years of experience, we recognise that making shoes is a complicated business. There are over a hundred processes in footwear manufacture, some requiring the use of chemicals and plastic. At Lerins we are determined to use our knowledge and credentials to address these challenges and make our shoes in a more environmentally friendly way.
‘One thing I have learnt over the years is that making shoes is a complicated business.’
A self-confessed shoe obsessive born to three generations of shoe makers, Daniel Rubin was always destined for the footwear industry. Passionate about elevating products with signature attention to detail and contemporary design, Daniel has combined his fashion footwear knowledge with an eco-conscious approach, to create a new British trainer brand.
‘I am determined to address challenges and make our shoes in a more environmentally friendly way.’
