Why it matters
Fluchos keeps production in Spain, which it says gives it close control over materials and finishes, and has built its range around technical features such as waterproofing and antistatic soles.
Its two ranges, the hand-stitched Artisan and Artesano lines and the casual Free Time line, show how the company has long split its offer between craft and comfort.
