What Makes a Vieux
- Made in Portugal from premium leather, suede and waxed canvas
- Fully leather lined, so your foot sits against leather, not synthetic
- A removable, leather-covered cushioned footbed
- Clean lines that go from the office to Frenchmen Street
The removable footbed means your own arch support fits too.
Why We Made It
After more than 20 years fitting feet in this city, we wanted a shoe that looked sharp and felt like a comfort shoe, built the old way. Our last name, Piediscalzo, means "barefoot." That's the standard every pair has to meet.
Our Own Brands. Vieux and Jax & Bard are Orleans Shoe Co.'s own lines, designed in New Orleans by Phil and Renée Piediscalzo. Vieux makes the sneakers and loafers, for men and women. Jax & Bard makes women's sandals and flats with real support built in — and it's in stock now.
Come try a pair when they land. Free fitting, no appointment, at Magazine Street · French Quarter · Metairie Road · Severn. Want us to hold your size? Call 504-910-2900. In New Orleans since 2002. How we fit.
