Empowering men through shoes

L’EDGE is a Belgian footwear label for men.

L’EDGE shoes redefine the age old boring black, brown or blue dress shoes – by adding a modern twist, new technologies and a splash of color.
Comfort, innovative lines and a splash of color are key. 

Men want to spice up their looks! Our brand embodies the freedom of choice and expression.
We want you to express yourself freely, without any restrictions. L’EDGE will always be about color, comfort and you.

From the very onset, we promised ourselves that we would always go the extra mile and never take short cuts. We want to do things the right way: not the cheapest or the fastest way, but the long and painstaking way to make a world class product.

Leather: We source our leather from the best Italian tanneries and use the softest suede and finest quality abrasivato to ensure the highest quality.

Handmade in Europe: We spent a lot of hours looking for a great factory. After talking to over 30+ factories in different countries, we tested out 5 factories to compare quality. Because we really want to offer the best quality you can find. Finally we found one that had the experience we needed to make our shoes. The craftsmen and craftswomen in this artisan factory have been making shoes for generations and they’ve become exceedingly good at it.

Color: We want to steer clear from classic boring brown shoes -, so we make ours in bold and tasteful colors. We design shoes for the entire spectrum – with subtle pops of color to bright and vibrant shoes that really spice up any outfit!

The soles of our shoes are extremely lightweight. They provide excellent grip and stability. Our shoes drastically reduce the overall drag and on your feet.

Contrary to popular belief, shoes don’t have to be heavy and chunky to seem well made or durable. There are many new technologies and materials that have been created over the years that provide the same stability as heavy set shoes but without all the extra weight.

When you walk into a men’s shoe store you see the same styles – brogue, oxford or derby  –  same colors – brown, blue or black. Dark colors and classic patterning are what you typically find on yesterday’s market. while women seem to have endless options in footwear, men are limited in their choice.

To all the men out there: you should be able to express yourself through your shoes, whether you are wearing a suit, chino or jeans. L’EDGE wants to empower you through shoes with innovative lines and color combinations. 

Apart from our innovative designs, comfort and convenience are key. Our shoes are easy to wear thanks to the elastic laces and wide fit. L’EDGE works with an in-house podiatrist, resulting in a high level of comfort.

Shoecraft-2

We noticed that the market for men’s shoes is too limited in choice. Everywhere we looked, we found the same typical brown dress shoe. To fill up this void, Dempsey, Marlou and Evelien started studying footwear design (Academy of Fine Arts Sint-Niklaas SASK). As soon as they started making their own designs, they did not just want to make shoes for themselves anymore, but wanted to give people all around the world a chance to express and expand their own identity. L’EDGE set out to initiate change and create a good looking world class product – a perfect way to express your personality and add color and style to your outfit!

The actual designing process is a group effort: all three graduated as footwear designers in Belgium. But they each have their own complementary – background. Together the 3 corners of this strong creative triangle form a multidisciplinary and complementary team.

Be bold enough to dream & brave enough to try

L’EDGE’s ambition is to empower you through shoes in surprising styles and color combinations. L’EDGE is committed to boosting men’s self-confidence and inspiring them to jazz up their appearance by wearing the right shoes.

They say women can conquer the world in the right shoes, so why should that be any different for men?

Ready to conquer the goddamn world?
