Frodan

FRODAN by KLEMAN: A Retro-Inspired Golf Derby

The FRODAN by KLEMAN offers a more nuanced take on workwear, blending professional heritage with a distinctly retro sensibility. Inspired by traditional golf derbies, it stands out through its rounded lines and balanced proportions, while staying true to KLEMAN’s functional DNA. Designed as a unisex model, FRODAN is made for those seeking a shoe with character—both robust and refined.

A retro derby with a functional mindset

Defined by its generous curves and carefully considered construction, FRODAN reinterprets the golf derby through a contemporary, utilitarian lens. Its softer, rounder silhouette gives it a unique presence within the KLEMAN derby collection, while remaining faithful to a clean, controlled aesthetic. A shoe that brings together authenticity, comfort, and versatility.

Made in France craftsmanship and heritage

FRODAN derbies are entirely made in France, in Maine-et-Loire, at the Cléon manufacture. With more than 75 years of experience, our workshop carries forward a recognised French know-how built on precise craftsmanship, quality assembly, and demanding finishing standards. Each pair reflects a rigorous design process, intended to withstand daily wear over time.

European leathers chosen for their character

The FRODAN is crafted from carefully selected European leathers, chosen for their quality, durability, and safety. Over the seasons, the model has been developed in a range of material expressions—smooth leather, suede, vegetable-tanned leather, waxed leather, and cracked leather. Each variation offers a different interpretation of the shoe, while preserving the original identity of the FRODAN: an expressive yet functional derby.

A lug sole rooted in professional footwear

Set on an EDITO Grip rubber lug sole, the FRODAN benefits directly from KLEMAN’s technical expertise drawn from professional footwear. Designed to deliver grip, stability, and wear resistance across all types of surfaces, the sole ensures proven reliability while reinforcing the shoe’s grounded, utilitarian stance.

FRODAN: an alternative vision of KLEMAN workwear

Rounder and more retro in spirit, the FRODAN offers an alternative expression of KLEMAN workwear. A Made in France golf derby with a strong identity, designed to belong to an authentic, durable, and timeless wardrobe. A shoe for those who appreciate classic references, reinterpreted with precision and restraint.
