Inspired by the town where our factory and head-offices are located. Historically the Albaladejo family has always lived in this village as well as being one of the propeller families of the footwear industry in the area. Inca is a classic and elegant last that is perfect for classy models and more special pairs. We consider this last unique due to the marked shape of its tip. It has an elongated appearance, a slightly rounded toe and a roomy instep and toe area.
