Camper Pelotas

Camper Pelotas are made by a Majorcan family run company who have been manufacturing shoes since 1877. Camper means "peasant" in Catalan. Camper first started making shoes in the 1970's during a period of social and historical changes in Spain. Their imaginative and creative designs reflected this new Spanish era. Camper Pelota shoes bring with them a certain freedom and comfort in not only the physical sense, but also in the political sense. Camper first debuted their shoes in a storefront in Barcelona. The rest, as they say, is history. They are now sold all over Europe and in North America as well.
