The Main Office - your order starts here to be processed.
Product Design - Adelante artisans measure and hand-cut leather to make your shoes just for you.
Sewing Room & Raw Prep - Leather pieces are given to the sewers, who skillfully stitch them together to form the shoe upper.
Cobbler Central - Sewn leather uppers are expertly crafted into your shoes by your assigned Adelante artisan.
Quality Control - Once your shoes have been carefully crafted by your artisan, a master craftsperson carefully inspects for quality.
Polishing & Packaging - After careful inspection, your shoes are taken to be cleaned, polished, packaged, and shipped straight to your door!
The Hut - The workshop features outdoor workspaces for taking a break from Cobbler Central.
The Conference Room... for all those grueling meetings about shoes!
The Balcony Office - A balcony with a desk is all Founder & CEO Peter needs when he’s got this view!
Open Workspace
Here at Adelante, we love the outdoors. Incorporating natural light, fresh air and green space into the work environment is a must.
Working Together
Whether you're an artisan, a shipper, an accountant, a graphic designer, or the company founder, Adelante is a team. That's why you'll find our main office and our workshop on the same grounds, with open doors.
"It’s a beautiful experience to work with Adelante. There’s nature, good people, and consistency of work. I earn a lot more than I did in construction and I’m able to help my family out with money.“
Luis, Adelante Craftsman
