Geumgang Shoe, the only domestic company with its own production factory, insists on domestic production by integrating the production lines and machinery of Italian luxury factories into Korea to differentiate itself from other shoe manufacturers. Although this structure inevitably reduces profitability in terms of cost, the company is maintaining the pride and dignity of a native company to present customers with the best products and the highest quality shoes.
Geumgang Shoe's Heritage, the only top-tier handmade shoe brand in Korea, boasts outstanding technology and quality that can compete with overseas luxury brands. The Heritage line features a variety of lineups, from the 'Heritage Seven,' based on the concept of '7 classic items every man must have,' to the premium 'Heritage Black,' which embodies the passion and craftsmanship of artisans. As wise consumption focusing on cost-effectiveness has become a trend, Heritage continues to enjoy steady popularity.
The price range is also offered at about half the price of luxury brands, providing good value at a reasonable price. This is based on the management philosophy that 'only shoes that perfectly fit Koreans can satisfy customers.' In particular, Geumgang Shoe's bespoke service, which allows customers to customize according to their preferences, is also gaining attention.
