The Shoe Snob
The World's Foremost Authority on Fine Footwear
Altan Bottier is one of the most famous and intriguing shoemakers coming out of France. With a history dating back to 1973, Altan has 50+ years of making some of the coolest shoes the shoe industry has seen, blending French design with bold coloring and with a healthy focus on exotic leather.
The Altan Bottier shoe brand was created by Turkish shoemaker, Sukru Sensozlu, who came to Paris to further his shoemaking abilities in the early '70s. He apprenticed under some of the most reputable French Bespoke Shoemakers, furthering his knowledge before going alone and creating his own brand.
To this day, Altan Bottier serves shoe aficionados around the world who appreciate the classic French Style of patina options, elongated lasts, and uniquely bold designs. With a specialization in exotic leathers not often found elsewhere, Altan impresses with one-of-a-kind footwear that is often unparalleled.
