TOUFIE

They believe that life is a journey, that begins with a great pair of shoes, that are not only classy, but with a perfect fit. With that, TOUFIE was born. It has an extended size ranging from EU 34 – 44, and is handcrafted with buttery-soft premium lambskin leather, thoughtfully and uniquely made for those with broad feet and even bunions.
