Founded in Tokyo in 2008, Caminando is a Japanese footwear brand that blends a fashion-forward design perspective with traditional craftsmanship. The name, which means “to walk” in Spanish, reflects its mission to create high-quality, durable shoes for life's journey. While all design and planning are conducted in Japan, the production is handled by skilled artisans in León, Mexico, a city renowned for its shoemaking heritage. This unique combination results in footwear that honors both Japanese design principles and the hand-finished quality of Mexican craft.
