 Batsanis was established in 1956 by Arthur Batsanis. Arthur was a traditional and highly skilled boot maker who honed his craft in Europe. After emigrating to Australia and settling in Melbourne, Arthur started his business as a shoe repairer. Due to ever increasing requests, he began making tailor made shoes for his customers. It became clear to him that there was a need for stylish, well crafted shoes which remains true to this day. Demand for his footwear grew strongly and by 1987 Batsanis shoes were being sold Australia wide.
In 1987 Arthur's sons Stan and Jim formed a partnership and expanded the manufacturing arm and began developing fashion ranges for mens footwear.
Today, Batsanis produce their product in Italy, Portugal, Spain, Romania and South East Asia, utilising the skills specific to each location, with the finest leathers and with innovative designs. Batsanis have cemented their place in the Australian market at the forefront of footwear style trends.
Our first store was opened in 1994 in Melbourne's fashion strip Chapel St, now 15 years on, Batsanis have 7 leading retail stores across Melbourne: Elizabeth St-City, Little Collins St-City, Melbourne Central-City, Bridge Rd-Richmond, Westfield-Southland, Chapel St-South Yarra and Cnr of Bourke and William Streets-City.
