Fourth generation shoemakers


The first generation of Stultiens shoemakers dates back to 1859. Sjang Stultiens started a shoemaker's shop on Verlengde Beekstraat and later on Nazerethsteeg. His son Frans had a shoemaker's shop on Suffolkweg around 1930 and later on Basin, where he also opened a shoe shop in addition to the shoe shop. Jan, Frans's son, born in 1934, continued the tradition and also had a shoe shop and shoe shop on Verlengde Beekstraat.

Founder Federico, a fourth-generation entrepreneur, started in his parents' garage in 1986. He was 17 at the time, the youngest entrepreneur in the industry. Two years later, he moved to the Limburg Laan shopping center, and 10 years later, he opened his business on Beekstraat. His passion for the trade was instilled at a young age, as a twelve-year-old boy, he could regularly be found working with his father in the shoemaker's shop. This year (2025), they are celebrating the company's 39th anniversary.

In 2007, Nicole, bringing her enthusiasm and passion for the business, joined the shoemaking workshop. Nicole is a skilled craftswoman with a passion for her craft. She enjoys everything from stitching shoes and inserting new zippers to adding unique closures to bags and belts. Making name tags is also a major hobby of hers, and they do this entirely in-house. This ensures that everything Nicole creates is unique. For this creative soul, nothing is impossible. And that's reflected in her products; she likes to go the extra mile, even outside the box. So whatever you're looking for—a specific closure, a special buckle for your belt—come visit, and Nicole is sure to have it.
