Our story: 50 Years of craftsmanship, innovation, and passion

Since 1974, DLS has represented the finest in handmade Italian footwear.

In Monte San Pietrangeli, in the heart of the Marche region, our story began with tradition, creativity, and passion.

We’ve always been artisans: each shoe is made by skilled hands, using carefully selected materials and a deep attention to detail.

Our roots, our strength.

Our strong bond with the land is part of who we are.

In this region - where shoemaking has been passed down for generations - we’ve learned the true value of time, dedication, and doing things the right way.

Where tradition meets innovation.

We love our craft, but we’re always looking ahead.

By blending artisanal techniques with innovation and style experimentation, we design shoes that are comfortable, versatile, and full of personality.

Our mission is to offer authentic style, lasting quality, and all-day comfort - in every step.

Over the years, we’ve seen fashions and lifestyles change. We’ve embraced your needs, and today we’re still here - with decades of experience behind us and the same enthusiasm we had at the beginning.
