Egyptian Shoe Brands and Where to Find them

The saying should go like this: Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but so are shoes! Since shoes are not gender-specific, and many Cairenes enjoy going shoe shopping, we’ve dedicated this article to those who love to have a new pair of sneakers, boots, or whatever have you. Since no one would want to splurge thousands over a single pair, these few local shoe brands will save you some money while costing you none of your fashion sense. 

Rouja 

Based in Cairo and Dubai, Rouja has a line of uniquely designed shoe categories. Its highlight footwear is its zipper boots, which aren’t all that common. Rouja is a great place to shop for the winter season because it mainly sells close-toed shoes. It also has beautiful velvet loafers that are perfect for spring, which is right around the corner!

Emeli

Another great winter pick, Emeli is a leather products manufacturer with a wide selection of footwear, especially its boots and Oxfords, which are essentially a smaller version of a half boot. It is also a strategic time to shop on Emeli since it has quite an attractive sale of up to 25 per cent! Don’t forget to check out its vintage products on its website here

Ramla

This shoe brand dedicates its designs to art, from the colours of the desert to Italian architecture, and has sandals for every mood. Ramla also goes the extra mile for sustainability, where it uses the leftover fabrics from its factory for a stand-alone collection. It has an eccentric colour combination and designs that you surely won’t find readily available in other stores. Check it out on its website here

Pavo 

Let’s start this one off by mentioning its “buy one get one free” offer on its website. Now that we have your attention, Pavo is a shoe brand that has recently introduced sneakers to the collection, which could potentially be the rising star of its brand. Its sneakers have creative print designs and colour variations that are easy on the eye. So say goodbye to throwing your money at high-end sneakers brands, because Pavo’s are affordable and just as pretty. Check its website out here

Palma

While it’s mainly known for its bags, which is how it started, Palma also sells shoes! From boots and mules to home-wear slippers and slides, Palma has quite the footwear variety that you can browse on its website. Also, you’re also in luck since it’s having a huge sale on a selection of its footwear. Check it out on its website here.
