THE COUPLE BEHIND OODOO

While Brittany produces passionate, free-spirited and adventurous people, Andalusia is not to be outdone — apart from on the moustache and tanned skin perhaps, as if to stand out more. From this mix we have Billy, who’s part French, part Spanish with quite an English first name (look for the mistake) and a passion for rock, motorbikes and shoes, which he’s made his job. It had to be said that he fell into the shoe business when he was a kid.

As the grandson of a bootmaker and the son of a shape maker, the tone was inevitably set from the beginning and they have shoemaking in their blood. Valérie, Billy’s partner and long-time collaborator, will agree, with the object of his passion now as familiar to her as the world of clothing she was originally destined for.

The couple have France, Bali, Spain and already lots of experience to their name and they juggle between a keen desire to make beautiful, well-made footwear and the appeal of an authentic and inspiring lifestyle. Because they don’t go for the fake stuff that looks real, the diktats and all that.

Their work has to smell of experience, of encounters, of emotion, and it has to make sense. Oodoo was born from this, from the desire to adapt what they know best, namely shoes, to their free, bold spirit, and to their penchant for escaping into the great outdoors.

IT’S A STATE OF MIND

Oodoo is a completely free approach to design. It’s about doing things seriously but without taking yourself too seriously. It’s also a call to the great outdoors, a bit like an invitation to go on extraordinary adventures where wild souls searching for authenticity meet.

OODOO IS ABOUT VALUES

QUALITY

We use top-quality materials. All the leathers we use are of Italian and/or French origin to ensure optimal quality and a top-level finish. All components such as stiffeners, toe caps, threads, eyelets and laces are selected from our Spanish suppliers who are recognised for their expertise.

DURABILITY

As well as selecting high-quality hides to ensure they last, we rely on traditional craftsmanship including Goodyear and Blake stitching. These two types of stitching guarantee our boots will stand the test of time. And by adding our puncture-proof tyre sole, we make our boots lifelong companions!

TRANSPARENCY

We apply a production-on-demand formula, allowing us to plan production better by optimising collaboration and work with our suppliers and manufacturers. This results in greater transparency at all levels and a product without any surprises or extra costs, fulfilling our promise to our customers: to offer the fairest possible price.

RESPONSIBILITY

As an economic agent, we’re aware of our responsibilities and do our utmost to respect environmental and social protection policies. We focus on a short circuit (between France, Italy and Spain) made up of trusted suppliers and manufacturers. We also look for alternatives to ‘disposable’ materials by using only green raw materials and by finding ways to recover them, such as upcycled tyres to make our soles.

OODOO,
IS ABOUT
PRODUCING BETTER

The idea is simple: we only produce what’s ordered. Every month, Oodoo offers pre-ordered models for a limited period of time. Once this period is over, production of the models begins and they’re delivered within up to three months.

Why this production model? Because by avoiding intermediaries, we control stock, we avoid waste and we can offer the right price. In short, it’s environmentally friendly and economical. And everyone benefits.

High-quality production at an unbeatable price.

No new product for now, but we're working on it !
