The Story began in 1915, when Pietro Almini moved from Milan to Vigevano to learn the traditional art of shoemaking.
\nThanks to a careful study of the material, of its transformations and nuances, he acquired the skillful craftsmanship and opened its first workshop in 1921 together with his wife Giovanna.
\n\nAt that time, the production was able to satisfy every single customer with quality, comfort and refinement.
\n<\/br>\nEach item, in fact, was made on the basis of specific needs, using the classic method of the “dozen” pairs arranged on wooden trolleys, some of which still exist and are preserved in the current factory.
\n\nIn 1946, under the direction of his daughter Fernanda, the workshop began the production of elegant children’s shoes, created with refined leathers and the classic sole.
\n<\/br>\nTwo years later Fernanda’s husband, Quirino Ruggero, joined the company to manage the distribution of this product outside the national territory, developing a commercial network in northern Europe which led to the opening, in Luxembourg, of a branded store Almini of children’s shoes.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

At the end of the 1970s, Carlo Pietro Ruggero joined his father in the Almini sales office.\nIn those years, the children’s footwear market was characterized by continuous fluctuations in demand: therefore, they returned to produce men’s shoes and, subsequently, professional soccer shoes.
\n
\nIn the following decade, Carlo became aware of a product widely used in the Gulf countries, the Arab sandal, generally made without particular attention to comfort and quality.
\n
\nThus, he had the idea of redesigning this particular sandal with Italian flair, special attention to design and cutting-edge technical features, in order to meet the needs dictated by cultural traditions.
\nIn this sense, anatomical cork wedges were studied, while the opanka processing with hand-stitching was also refined.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This luxury product was initially distributed through single-brand boutiques located in the main cities of the Gulf countries.

Over time, they were transformed into chain stores which count now about 50 points of sales, with customized collections for different brands depending on the target of the end user.

Careful design, meticulous selection of materials and assiduous search for perfection: this is the secret behind the philosophy of a brand that in its history finds the foundations for an innovative strength.

This allowed the company to become the leader in this market.
Maintaining craftsmanship even with high volumes and constantly improving the service for special orders: this is the goal achieved by Almini, always giving the utmost attention to details and customization, with a focus on the training of young craftsmen.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The passion for footwear and modernization gave the push to go further and develop a more international product, free from territorial constraints, but always handcrafted and with an unmistakable Italian style.<\/h4>

The idea was born from the reworking of an ancient process used by the founder Pietro, to make his own personal shoes.<\/h4>

It is a complex, entirely manual method where the upper is stitched backwards directly to the sole and then turned over by hand:<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
