BALLET - BLACK LEATHER

History of Wolky

The history of Wolky started approximately 20 years ago, in the early eighties. At that time, the Diks' shoe stores were selling plenty of comfort shoes. Comfortable, yes-but hardly fashionable. This brought the onset of Wolky when the shop's founder, Kees Diks, developed his own line of sandals. He had listened to his customer's complaints about their difficulty in finding fashionable comfort shoes, and wanted to help alleviate their problems.

Wolky introduced fashionable and colorful sandals, which offered revolutionary comfort to its customers. This revolutionary comfort came from the production of the Wolky signature insole, consisting of cork and memory foam. This insole is still used in many Wolky collections today, and some collections offer removable insoles for even more versatility.

 Investment in having good feet

The question that is commonly asked is "Why are Wolkys so expensive?" This would depend on what we are compared to and how we are compared. We take great pride in each and every step of the manufacturing process to produce fine comfort footwear. We ensure that quality is the strongpoint from the creation, the engineering, the materials, and construction.

We use top full-grain leathers and not split hides. Our uppers are leather lined so the shape of the shoe holds longer. The foot beds are not just cork but contoured cork. We take this a step further and add a memory foam layer on top of the cork to memorize the foot. This is a unique individual imprint of your foot. Furthermore we cover the entire footbed with a leather covering. This quality assurance makes Wolky one of the premier footwear brands in the marketplace at a reasonable price.
