About Us
At Bodker Shoes we use premium materials to create the best quality, most comfortable shoes for your everyday adventures.
Bodker Shoes was founded by Richard Paki and Annie Murray, in Auckland, New Zealand. We are a proud New Zealand family business looking to leave a legacy for our kids.
We both love shoes, and have far too many of our own. Our business started in 2015 with our love of quality shoes. We began as a distributor for Pleaser USA, with our website Pretty Fit. We learnt a lot more about shoes, which led us to develop our own brand, Bodker Shoes.
In 2017 we added our own brand of activewear with Colour and Fit. We are also developing a comic book based on our characters. Each character in our superhero collection is based on one of our kids.
Update: A few things have happened since 2015. Annie and I are no longer together since 2021- 2022. With many experiences in life with business I have continued alone. I have moved away from the activewear and comics and we are solely focused on the sneaker heels.
The 'Bodker' brand is named after the little guy my son on the left in the photo above, he is half Danish and Bodker is his family name. We are working on a brand for each of our children.
