“I wanted a pair of well-made casual loafers I could throw on for work, traveling, dining with my wife, or even just watching football. Sure, there were options, but they all fell short in some way. After contemplating this problem, I decided to tackle it myself. After many long design sessions, along with trips to and from Europe, Austen Heller was born. In creating the brand, I’ve (thankfully) discovered there are a lot of people like me out there who want straightforward shoes with versatility, flexibility, style, and uncompromising quality in equal measures.”
