amazing custom boots

Artisans located at the base of the Andes mountains using only the best materials and traditional tools and techniques to create unique and beautiful boots for our Canadian customers.

Boots and hearts, a footwear brand founded in love.

Franco Silva is a story of two people who found each other half a world apart and fell madly in love with each other (ten thousand three hundred and four kilometers, if you're counting). One day, while strolling through the many bodegas and zapaterias in the city of Santiago, they met a very happy family of skilled cobblers. 

With a passion for shoes, excellent workmanship and each other, they devised a plan to bring these shoes to Canada and with each order, brings them closer as they build their business and their life together.
