Who We are
ASIF BUTT
FOUNDER & CEO
FOUNDER OF FOOTERIA
Years back the leather industry of Pakistan faced some major crisis, and it was difficult to accept this huge failure of such a productive industry. Most of the cobblers and vendors working in this industry started switching their professions such as to drivers, salesmen at shops and other blue collared jobs where their expertise were not even utilized. This was the time when our CEO decided to revive back this falling industry, this was a difficult task to achieve which required a lot of commitment and hard work, but most importantly gaining the trust of the cobblers and vendors was top of the list.
After a lot of struggle a group of cobblers were finally convinced to work with us. We started on a very small scale where we made shoes/boots and jackets for our friends and their mutuals who lived abroad. They sent us pictures of shoes and our cobblers created copies of those shoeswith genuine leather. Our handmade leather shoes started gaining appreciation amongst the community and this was a great motivation for the team to work hard and start making them goals bigger and better. We made our stores on different online marketplaces and gradually entered the online business world. Since then, Footeria has made its name in the online world for selling high quality products and fastest delivery. We hope that our journey on this platform makes it cherish able for our customers!
