HISTORY

In 1977, Lolito Lopez opened a shoe store by the name of Centropell, in the Cubao Shoe Expo. Almost three decades later, the tandem of Lolito and wife Lily has blossomed and now sit at the helm of a shoe business empire that is renowned for its commitment to the development, manufacturing and marketing of quality, authentic and affordable footwear under the following brands: CENTROPELLE, RUSS and RUSTY LOPEZ. Building on the success of Centropell, the Lopezes positioned Rusty Lopez as the brand name that rivaled the best of what the local shoe industry has to offer. The popularity of the Rusty Lopez brand eventually exceeded the expectations of the holding companies and as a result, holds one of the biggest market shares within the entire local shoe industry. Maritalia Manufacturing Incorporated, which was established on December 17, 1996 and became the official manufacturing arm of the company. It is through the joint efforts of Filipino and Italian shoemakers that Maritelia was born. To give pride and honor to this collaboration, the name Maritalia was created by combining Marikina and Italy, MARI (Marikina) and ITALIA (Italy) thus, forming the word Maritalia. Today, MARITALIA sits on a onehectare property on E. Rodriguez Avenue in Sto. Nio, Marikina City. It houses state-of-the-art imported equipment from Italy specifically designed for mass shoe production. Operating at full capacity with 300 workers, Maritalia can produce as many as 24,000 pairs of shoes in a month. In late December 2003, the Rusty Lopez logo underwent a subtle makeover to achieve a more youthful look. It was just one of the many touches intended to enhance the popular brand. Indeed, Rusty Lopez enjoys an unblemished reputation for quality and affordability with a wide range of footwear and accessories products for its broad market. Its image is untarnished by shoddy workmanship, and is further bolstered by the influence of its Italian and other foreign consultants and the companys corresponding investments in Italian technology, machine and state-of-the-art equipment.

is actually the magnetic energy, not the magnet itself that is responsible for the cure.

But what is news for us is already an established practice thousands of years ago. The oldest known usage is in Africa, where magnetite has been found to have been used in potions, food and topical applications. Then there were the Ancient Greeks who believed in the therapeutic powers of magnetic rocks. Hebrews, Arabs, Indians, Egyptians, and Chinese civilizations have also relied on the health benefits natural magnets. Today, magnets can be found in products like jewelry, body wraps and braces, mattress pads, and cushions. Applying the same principles, the research and development team of Rusty Lopez came up with a new collection of Magnet Therapy Shoes. The design features magnets on the insole, located on the heel and near your foots arch. It is secured in place with a silicone rubber that functions as cushion for greater comfort.
