We could make shoes like everyone else, but here's why we don't. After 20 years working in the fashion industry for retailers and brands including Bergdorf Goodman, Shopbop, Anthropologie and Vince, our founder wondered why does style have to come at the expense of comfort? With the goal of creating timelessly elegant shoes that are radically comfortable, RĒDEN was born. Developed over two years in collaboration with an orthopedic surgeon, each pair comes with a proprietary arch-supporting & cushioned insole, a shock-absorbing outsole and water-resistant treated leathers and suedes. Why shouldn't our shoes do more for us? We think our shoes are perfect ― for work, for play, for life. These are the shoes you forget to take off when you get home.
