About Charleston Shoe Co.

Charleston Shoe Company has reimagined women's footwear with versatile, comfortable, and stylish shoes designed for every occasion. We are a women-owned "cobblestones to cocktails" footwear brand with nearly 25 retail stores across the United States and a large extended family of artisan cobblers in Mexico. We operate as a lean, entrepreneurial, founder-driven team geared toward designing shoes for the everyday, modern woman. 25 years ago, founder Neely Woodson Powell, met cobbler Santiago, in San Miguel, Mexico whose simple sandals were a wardrobe staple among the villagers and visitors alike. Created for women of all ages, the hand-sewn shoes are both versatile and fashionable. Neely’s personal style is a direct parallel – she is always effortlessly sophisticated. The sturdy comfortable construction is courtesy of the 50 cobblers and artisans who hand-sew the shoes in a Mexican town where the similarities between their home and Charleston are evident – both are charming, yet cosmopolitan and have plenty of cobblestone streets.Read their story
