PADROR by KLEMAN: The Iconic Workwear Derby Made in France

Originally created in the 1990s for French railway workers, the PADROR by KLEMAN is more than a pair of shoes: it’s a cornerstone of the brand’s workwear heritage. Designed for demanding, everyday use, this unisex derby has become an icon thanks to its solid build, lasting comfort, and raw, functional attitude.

A tyrolean shoes with a lug sole

PADROR is defined by its apron-toe construction and its distinctive character. Built on KLEMAN’s EDITO Grip lug sole, made from natural rubber, it delivers reliable traction across a wide range of surfaces. Developed from the brand’s professional footwear expertise, the sole combines stability, cushioning, and strong wear resistance: key features that make PADROR a true workwear staple.

Made in France craftsmanship with selected European leathers

All PADROR derbies are made in France in Maine-et-Loire, at the Cléon manufacture, where KLEMAN’s know-how has been developed. Each pair is crafted with care and consistency, from material selection to final assembly.
PADROR is made with carefully selected European leathers, chosen for their quality and durability. The result is a pair of Made in France shoes with clean finishing and a construction designed to last over time.

An essential workwear icon, unisex by nature

Season after season, PADROR has established itself as a key piece in a modern workwear wardrobe. With its grounded stance and uncompromising design, it speaks to both men and women looking for footwear that feels authentic and built for real life. PADROR isn’t just a Made in France derby—it reflects a mindset: functional, understated, and timeless.

PADROR variations and materials

While staying true to the original silhouette, PADROR comes in several variations. Smooth black leather version remains the iconic reference. The PADROR G VGT grained leather editions bring a more textured, rugged look, while suede option PADROR VV offers a softer take on the same workwear identity. Each version preserves what makes PADROR unmistakably KLEMAN: a durable build and a utilitarian spirit.

Inclusive sizing for a unisex derby

Designed as a unisex model, PADROR is available in a wide range of sizes, generally from EU 35 to EU 49 depending on the variation. This inclusive sizing reflects KLEMAN’s approach: functional footwear made for everyone, built to last.
