Black Widgets

Widgets are no-nonsense unisex shoes made of genuine leather. They are manufactured in Europe according to the NATO AQAP 2110 standard by the same factory making one of the most legendary military boots, M77s. The same manufacturer has also worked with well-known brands, including Dr. Martens and Rossignol. So you can be assured they have military-grade quality and robustness. The name of the shoes, Widgets, comes from the hipster area in Tartu, Estonia, where the shoe factory is located, The Widget Factory. During the depressing Soviet times, the area was used to manufacture refrigeration equipment and secret submarine parts, and to mislead the public, non-functioning umbrellas and zippers. But nowadays, the area brings together creative entrepreneurs, artist and designer studios, cafes and, of course, the shoe factory.

Widgets are suitable for women, men and children. For women and children, we recommend ordering one number of smaller shoes.
