We have a secret to admit
Premium Should Feel Better
What defines a premium shoe—true quality or just a heavy price tag? Most high-end brands invest more in image than in materials, comfort, or support.
At Oliver Cabell, we do things differently. We focus on what actually matters: thoughtful design, better materials, and comfort you can feel from the ground up. No inflated markups. Just honest, well-made shoes that move with you—on your terms.
What Are You Really Paying For?
Most shoes that sell for over $400 cost less than $25 to make. A handful of global fashion giants control the majority of the industry—and set their prices to match their margins, not the craftsmanship.
At Oliver Cabell, we take a different route. We work with ethical factories, use honest materials, and price our shoes based on what they’re truly worth. No shortcuts. No markups. Just high-quality footwear, made the right way.
Raising the Standard—Not the Price
We set out to make high-quality, hand-crafted shoes without the inflated prices. By using old-school shoemaking methods and cutting out the middlemen, we deliver premium comfort, support, and design—without compromise.
Our approach is simple: honest materials, ethical production, and performance you can feel every day.

Great design should feel as good as it looks. Premium Italian leather wraps an engineered support system with a proprietary rubber-EVA outsole and custom molded footbed for stability, impact absorption, and all-day comfort. Clean design on the outside. Modern performance underneath.

My low Metropolis sneakers inevitably solicit multiple compliments every time I wear them. I have narrow feet and was surprised that these ran narrow on me. I had to have them stretched. Now I'm really enjoying them!
- JLJennifer L.Verified BuyerReviewingLow 1 | MetropolisI recommend this productNormal Size 9 - 9.5Size Purchased 11Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoFantastic shoes!
Extremely comfortable and cushiony while still being minimal enough to allow you to "feel" the ground. Normally I wear Vivobarefoots or Chuck Taylors, but always need to supplement them with my plantar fasciitis orthotics. With my Oliver Cabells, no orthotic is necessary. Really a game-changer for me. They do run extremely small, but I read all the reviews and was able to perfectly guess my size on the first try (I normally wear a 9.5-10, but I ordered a 12). And I love the colors of the Low 1 Metropolis!! Please make more options like this for us Gen Xers who want a blend of earth tones with patches of colors that look classy and retro without resorting to a screaming neon color palette. I'd love to see an olive drab variant of the Metropolis (olive where the black is, and maybe a black toe and red laces, or something along those lines). I've gotten tons of compliments on these shoes, and one comment of "those look like bowling shoes", but I think that aesthetic is fantastic. It's a Gen X retro vibe.
One additional note: in writing this review, I had to select from a drop-down for what shoe size I ordered, but it only goes up to 11! I ordered a 12 (size 42 EU) for my normally sized 9.5-10 feet and it fit perfectly.

I have a love love relationship with these shoes. My style is very much so unique and these compliment my expressive style so well. Although I only have 2 pairs when I do wear them I get a lot of compliments. I love items that are not typically worn by many so these fit right in.
