Our Story

Every pair of Mellow Walk safety shoes is designed and made in Toronto. We find purpose in crafting footwear that meets the demanding needs of today’s workers looking for comfort and durability.

We sweat the small stuff

Every pair touches 40 sets of hands in our Toronto factory. Skilled shoemakers who know their craft.

Comfort is our first and Last Priority

The Mellow Walk shoe Last represents our tradition of quality shoemaking in Canada. Our lasts are designed to support all-day wear and are created for a generous, comfortable fit.

Our Leather is Golden

We select soft, natural leathers that require zero break-in. Our environmentally friendly Gold-Rated leathers are from tanneries committed to good stewardship and audited by the international Leather Working Group.

Our Heritage

1993: Story begins

Our small workshop in Toronto begins by crafting hand-sewn ladies shoes.

2000: Our story changes

Brian Suckling, a kindly semi-retired shoe agent graces our door and asks us to consider making dress safety shoes. Our first collection 5072 “Pukermoc” builds on our knowledge of hand-sewn footwear and becomes an instant classic.

The company rebrands as Mellow Walk and launches Patrick and Jamie setting the benchmark for comfort safety footwear. Both shoes still going strong a decade later.

2010: We grow out

Mellow Walk now sold across North America and as far away as the Middle East.

2016: We reinvent ourselves

Second generation leads Mellow Walk into its third decade of operation. After success of original Patrick safety shoe, Mellow Walk launches the new feature rich Patrick2.0.
