The history
The history of Vogel footwear goes beyond a simple chronology of dates and highlights to instead reveal a story about craft mastery, loyalty, and provenance.
Egidius Vogel arrived in Manhattan from his native Germany and established himself in 1879 as a master craftsman of shoemaking. Vogel’s handmade shoes were a manifestation of his enduring ethos to create a bespoke footwear experience for the most refined clientele.
Though much has changed since 1879, Vogel has remained steadfast in its mission to create a bespoke footwear experience instead of setting trends in fashion, business, and craftsmanship.
