about KORILLA
The inspiration for the Corylabootscame from the
military boots worn by US soldiers.
We don’t make our shoes using modern mass-production methods,
but rather the
traditional construction methods used for the U.S. military in the 1900s,
using the Goodyear Weltand
Hand-Sewn Welt techniques,
which are slow but sturdy, and allow us to create boots that are highly customizable
to the tastes of the orderer and the
wearer.
The brand name “Korilla”
has a special meaning:
If you read it backwards, it becomes “alli r.o.k,”
which is a combination of “alli” (over there)and “R.O.K” (Republic of Korea,
Republic of Korea).
True to our name, we want to create a culture of
unique boots and
shoemaking with different stories in Korea, a country that leads the world in culture and
content.
