“Momma always says there’s an awful lot you could tell about a person by their shoes. Where they’re going. Where they’ve been.”
This quote from Tom Hanks’ Forest Gump really captures the essence of shoes. They are an integral part of our everyday life.
A lot of us may not pay attention to them, but they accompany you everywhere you go, giving you all the support you need to stand tall.
That said, shoes can get expensive. Just look at the crazy prices they are listed at StockX. Fortunately for us, we have local brands that manufacture affordable, durable footwear.
In this list, we’ll be looking at the top 5 Nepali shoe brands to try in 2024.

Top 5 Nepali Shoes Brands
This list consists of the best local shoe brands based on price, quality, product lineups, and even mainstream popularity.
You’ll find this list to be a mixture of well-established Nepali brands and startups that are trying to create a niche for themselves.
So, without further ado, let’s get started with the first entry in our list.
1. Goldstar

Goldstar is by far the most recognizable footwear brand in Nepal.
It has been the go-to brand when it comes to durable and affordable shoes since its inception in 1990.
As of recent, Goldastat has been expanding its portfolio to align with the needs of the newer generation.
As a result, we get to see products like the BRYN series that try to encapsulate the growing sneaker culture in the country.
2. Caliber

Caliber Shoes stands out in the market with its trendy design and color choices.
So, it should not be a surprise that this Nepali shoe brand is really popular among the younger generation.
It has been a stylish alternative to Goldstar and other shoes in Nepal.
Caliber recently collaborated with Vek to release the Apollo High sneaker in a first-of-its-kind collaboration in Nepal.
3. Coseli

Just like Goldstar, Coseli has been in the Nepali shoe business for over three decades now.
It is not as talked about as the two names before it, but that doesn’t make it any less remarkable as a brand.
Coseli specializes in leather shoes both for formal and casual settings.
The brand takes pride in its quality and even offers different guarantees for leather and pasting used in its shoes.
4. Dochaa

Having started in 2017, Dochaa is the youngest shoe brand on this list.
The way I see it, Dochaa is a brand making Nepali shoes in this list of Nepali brands making shoes.
Dochaa shoes are unique in the sense that each of them is handcrafted using local materials and patterns.
Yes, they are modern, and yet they carry the traditional aesthetics eccentric to Nepal.
5. Shikhar Shoes

Shikhar Shoes is another veteran in the Nepali market.
If you are as old as me, you would have taken notice of the brand’s vibrant TV ads featuring Deepak Raj Giri.
Shikhar is mostly known for its lineup of leather shoes for parties and formal occasions.
That being said, the company has a big product lineup consisting of casual footwear, school/college shoes, and safety boots.
