The story of our first pair of shoes

The Marelbo brand is based on an exciting story, its beginnings dating back to 1984. Aurel Bobu, the founder of the company, remembers p his rhyme step in a shoe workshop, on which he owes to his father:

" In the '80s, my father asked a friend from the locality (who was a shoemaker) to take me apprentice to him. The first pair of shoes I made to my mother. If I was to be ashamed, at least be in front of my mother. They came out beautiful. With a microporous sole, a white line and a black line ... When he saw that I was able to make his shoes, he was so happy that he made news to all the neighbors and friends.

Then the neighbors in the village saw that they could make quality footwear and the orders started coming. After about a year, the news that I am a good craftsman and make quality footwear has spread throughout the county.

Because I was not coping with the request, I started taking apprentices for the qualification as well, to help me honor all the orders. Until the revolution I managed to form another 50 boots. In 1994 we founded Marelbo ".

Today, Marelbo has become one of the most well-known footwear factories in Romania. The present achievements of the factory are the result of the daily work of more than 700 employees, Marelbo being considered one of the largest employers in the area.
