Valsport

Valsport began in Padua in 1920, the idea of Antonio Valle. He was just 18 when he decided to start a company making shoes and sports articles, and he set about it with plenty of enthusiasm and inventiveness.

What marked the business out from the start was the way Valle paired a love of detail and handcraft skill with careful research into both the technical and the aesthetic side of what he made. That approach paid off. Within a few years Valsport had become one of the first sports shoe makers operating at national level.

It is a label with a proper origin story, built on a young founder's curiosity and a habit of getting the small things right.
