Because quality does not have to cost a fortune. Balthazar was borne out of the demand for quality leather shoes that are well-made, classy, and most of all, affordable. The marketplace is limited to either luxury brands that cost a fortune or mass-market brands with substandard quality. We believe we can make this better. Balthazar’s purpose is to fill in the gap and address these needs of the modern gentleman. Clean. Elegant. No nonsense. We let our shoes do the talking.
