Pedro Garcia

Pedro Garcia is not a name as much as a family legacy. They consider themselves “zapateros” (shoemakers) through and through. To know Pedro Garcia’s history as a prominent contender in the world of women’s footwear, you must first consult their family tree. Grandpa Pedro Garcia opened shop in 1925 in Elda, Alicante. What began as a workshop for children’s shoes soon became a men’s footwear factory. Grandpa Garcia passed the torch to his son also named Pedro in 1954. He switched gears, specializing in woman’s footwear and by 1968 was importing Pedro Garcia designs to premiere department stores like Henri Bendel and Bergdorf Goodman. Today, the next Pedro and his sister take the creative reigns of Pedro Garcia. For three generations, Pedro Garcia shoes demonstrate excellent craftsmanship and a keen awareness of the latest trends. This season’s Minnie pump with scaled and feathered detailing is utterly avant-garde, but still sophisticated. Mixing feminine and masculine styles may seem like oil and water, but Pedro Garcia brings a winning combination with his high top slip on leather bootie, Minnie. The simple shape and flat sole are reminiscent of formal men’s footwear, but the rich chestnut color and feminine detailing around the toe create a sleek, modern shoe. Consult your shoe histories, and you’ll find that Pedro Garcia has long been a favorite among the shoe loving elites.
