When looking for a new pair of shoes, each buyer is guided by their individual preferences. For some, fashionable style is a priority, for others - durability, for others, price is important. However, every person invariably seeks comfort, convenience and quality. To get this, you don't have to shell out a significant amount for an imported model. After all, there are Russian brands that not only look no worse, but also provide comfort at the level of foreign ones. Which ones exactly? We will talk about this in our article.
Advantages of Russian manufacturers
First, let’s figure out what’s good about domestic brands.
Taking into account climatic conditions
The biggest advantage of our manufacturers is the ability take into account the climate of the country and produce goods that best meet the needs of its residents. Unlike Europe, the weather in Russia is famous for its cold winters and long off-season. That's why products of domestic brands are usually warmer and moisture resistant.
Quality according to GOST
In the Soviet Union, all factories and plants operated in accordance with GOST standards. And most of them to this day strictly complies with government and industry standards.
Therefore, contrary to stereotypes, Domestic products are often distinguished by their quality and durability. Although they are inferior to many foreign brands in terms of design diversity.
Affordable prices
Finally, the absence of many production costs and costs associated with the export and import of goods allows domestic producers to establish relatively low prices compared to foreign colleagues.

Important! Many Russian brands have foreign names, so buyers often perceive them as foreign.
Ralph Ringer
Despite the name, successfully disguised as a German brand, the Ralf Ringer company is a domestic manufacturer with shoe factories in Russia in Moscow, Vladimir and Zaraysk.
Products are different discreet and not very diverse design.
However consumers note high quality and durability products of this brand.
Eber Klaus
Like Ralf Ringer, the Eber Klaus company throws dust in the eyes of the Russian consumer with the help of a foreign name. Although this brand is also completely domestic.
The company produces high-quality and durable products made from natural materials.
Reference! Eber Klaus occupies one of the leading positions in the middle price segment of the market.
Tofa

Thanks to the fact that the brand ToFa keeps fairly low prices with a high level of quality, the products of this company are always popular with Russian buyers.
Francesco Donni

Carlo Pazolini
Despite the high cost, Carlo Pazolini shoes are very popular among Russian consumers.
The brand offers first-class quality, current, fashionable design and a wide range of models.
The company's production lines are located in Eastern Europe and China. However, Carlo Pazolini can be considered a completely Russian manufacturer of shoes of impeccable quality.

Previously specializing in imports from Hungary and the Czech Republic, today The Tervolina brand produces shoes for the whole family in the middle price segment. And offers customers both casual and classic models.
Today Tervolina is one of the most developed shoe chains in Russia.

Never, in any number of years, with all the GOST standards combined, were Soviet shoes of high quality and fashionable. Well, it’s not a given... they bought entire factories in Italy, desperately copied technologies, purchased components... the result is the same - people were choking on Finnish boots, Yugoslav boots and Czech ones shoes... our “happiness” was standing next to each other in manufactured goods... The Russian one was not far behind... Not given.
Tofa was cool + indestructible about 10 years ago. But now it’s for one season. The pressed leather is made in China.
Chester, TJ Collection, Carlo Pazolini quality shoes. True, the price is too high.
You are not right! I still wear Soviet shoes, but foreign ones are complete bullshit...
Not true. I wore Tofa's patent leather loafers for 4 seasons. Cost 5 thousand. And yes, the leather is real, not pressed. The appearance is still decent. It’s a shame that the Tofa trading house has closed in our city.
I have been buying Chester, TJ Collection for over 10 years, the last 3 years have been terrible. Several good models with a price tag of more than 10 thousand. And is this normal???? The rest has all become consumer goods.
TJ Collection makes low-quality heels, they didn’t even consider the season, they are peeling, although the price tag is more than 15 thousand rubles
Ralf Ringer sucks! The sole is complete shit... but, even though the name is German! Tofa keeps prices low with rather low quality - but can it be otherwise? Good materials, leather, work, design development are not cheap. Cheap boots immediately indicate that you won't be wearing them for long. Carlo Pazolini is a shoe that is good to look at, but not for our streets and roads. I agree with Tervolina - a decent store, but again, the main assortment consists of other brands - shoes, accessories from umbrellas to gloves - foreign goods. Due to this, they probably travel well.
And I’ve been wearing Carnabique boots and shoes for five years now and it’s fine.
They forgot about Ionessi, it doesn’t even know how to demolish it. And it is designed for a full leg.
Midis. They sew both classic and more youthful shoes. Production in Pushkino, Moscow region and in Belarus
We recently purchased Goodzone boots, they are made in the Pskov region, the factory used to sew for the military. Leather, good soles, interesting models. Wearing it for the second season, the impressions are only positive.
I forgot to explain that Midis is a TD, the Almida factory stores are called;)
The fact that Ralph’s soles suck is something he’s convinced himself - the third pair of shoes (one demi-season, one summer, one winter) lasts no more than two seasons, but the top is just a picture. The price, by the way, is not budget. Today I picked up the demi-season of Nine Line, I’ll see what it’s like during the process.
Good afternoon. Please tell me why, among such a large variety of brands of the Russian shoe manufacturer you mentioned, “Unichel”, the Chelyabinsk shoe factory, is not mentioned. This is not the first time I buy, and not only for myself but for the whole family. And my friends often use it. It’s strange, the shoes are good, but they are not in your report.
