Liesel is a teacher shoe techniques and design and Dorien is a graduate shoemaker. Together they have teamed up to follow their passion and realize their dream: their own label: LEV’01.

The soles and heels production is carried out by an innovative Dutch producer. The custom-made shoe and lasts are the specialties of this company, which guarantees LEV’01 comfort and quality. The boots are made of 100% high quality wool and vegetable tanned leather. The leather sole is protected with a rubber anti-slip sole.
