Cydwoq is the premier handmade shoe collection in the United States. "Old World Craftsmanship for Modern Feet". All HANDMADE by Rafi Balouzian using vegetable-tanned Italian leathers and water-based glues. Originally educated as an architect, Rafi and his son, Ari, design incredibly comfortable and timeless styles and then craft them by HAND in their California family-owned factory. The Classic Collection represents timeworn traditional shoe concepts in contemporary styling. The Cydwoq Classic collection consists of styles that provide a slightly wider fit and more casual styling than the Cydwoq Vintage line. All Cydwoqs soften, stretch and conform to your feet with wear, resulting in years of enjoyment. People often buy one pair and then become Cydwoq addicts!! Trust us when we say we are addicted to the comfort. We should know, Ped is proud to have offered Cydwoq designs for 21 years!
