Bernardo designers Dennis and Lynne Comeau live and work in Florence, Italy, making Bernardo the only U.S. footwear manufacturer with its own design and product development team based there. All Bernardo shoes are conceptually designed and hand-crafted with attention to detail in order to ensure quality, comfort, fit and value. Since 1947, Bernardo's "Miami" sandals have been a fashion mainstay and continue to be the must-have shoe for warm weather.
