About Oliver Cabell
Oliver Cabell stamps down upon inherited supply chain inefficiency. They sell high-quality, long-lasting shoes and other accessories directly to customers, all at a fraction of the cost of similar products on the market. In just five years, Oliver Cabell has become the go-to option for well designed, quality boots and sneakers for men and women. You could say, the rest of the market has been caught flat footed.
Why We Love Them
Origin Story
The TL;DR
- Hand-crafted high-quality shoes for men and women
- Made out of the highest-quality materials like ethically sourced leather from Italy
- Priced at a fraction of common retailer mark-ups
The Science & The Soul
The Science
When Oliver Cabell set out to make its first shoe, Gabrielson assessed over 40 footwear factories throughout Europe, and 70 tanneries, before selecting his preferred partners. Two of the most important criteria when looking for manufacturers were commitment to quality and to ethical standards. For example, since he started Oliver Cabell, Gabrielson sought factory owners that supported small family farms who could monitor where hides originated.
Oliver Cabell places equal importance on sourcing the best possible outsole, which it considers an often overlooked element of a great sneaker. Its chosen supplier, Magrom in le Marche, Italy, uses a lightweight outsole design that is resistant to splitting and abrasion whilst maximizing comfort.
The Soul
Oliver Cabell encourages a passion for seeing things differently and challenging accepted practices. Placing a huge premium on transparency, especially compared with established businesses, the brand is extraordinarily open about costs, providing a price breakdown so consumers know exactly how much it cost to manufacture the shoes they are about to buy. When you wear Oliver Cabell shoes, you’ll never doubt that you are wearing a well-made, ethically-sourced product that you purchased at a fair price.
