History
Our history
Miez is a production company recently founded in Gonars with a long history. Alberto and Gloria, born in 1982, classmates born in the same month, lost sight of each other after compulsory school, each following their own path: Alberto in the footwear sector and Gloria in the designer furniture sector. They then meet again in 2022 by chance, but with the desire to make the world aware of a product that comes from the area where they were born, raised and still live: Gonars
Miez's Friulian shoes are in fact designed, developed and all handcrafted in Gonars, a small town in north-eastern Italy and a famous footwear district which was particularly important in the 90s but above all a town where this type of footwear has been produced for more than 200 years, which in the It has certainly undergone many changes over the years but maintains its artisanal and popular soul, while still being an elegant and timeless product.
Thus Miez was born, a Friulian name meaning Middle, to symbolize the middle ground, Friuli, the border territory with Central Europe and, thanks to its port, with the whole world, from which it wants to absorb all the cultural influences and reliability typical of this place, historically marked by difficult years and hard work, which have certainly influenced the population. Craftsmanship, reliability, seriousness and a look beyond borders therefore become Miez's manifesto.
