When technology makes enormous bounds, to maintain artisan traditions at any cost is a particularly difficult task since even the most sophisticated machines cannot compete with the human hand. The art of shoemaking allows Thierry to express his personality with a design inspired by the most authentic tradition. Convinced, that the general quality of the shoe depends upon the degree of human involvement in its creation, it cannot but be completely made in Italy, where it is still possible to exploit an artisan culture. The art of shoemaking cannot be improvised. The realisation of each pair of shoes, signed Thierry Rabotin, always represent a challenge for the master shoemakers who feel responsibly involved in the success of each model. Their hands, marked by all the sewing, nailing and hammering, confer to Thierry Rabotin's shoes their already famous individuality.
