Love them, been always hopping from brand to brand until I bought my first pair of them
Which ones ship to the states? I bought shoes little over a month ago and it is already developing holes. Normally I buy xero shoes but the tarrifs on China has made it less affordable
German Hanwag. Their โwideโ models are the only shoe models I have never had to break in. Their terrain soles wear quickly on asphalt or concrete, but they have a selection of flatter urban soles.
Currently very happy wearing Axel Arigato sneakers. Swedish brand, manufactured in Portugal.
Sneaky Steve. Swedish, made in Portugal.
FRAU,Italy
Comfort,style,durable, I love them
Fluchos, made in Spain (La Rioja)
Joma (Spanish) are good ones. Also Paredes.
LOWA makes most of their shoes in Europe. I think mostly the trail runners are not. Excellent quality.
Meindl shoes from Germany, although i am not sure if they are actually made in Germany anymore
According to Wikipedia, their shoes branded "Meindl" are manufactured in Europe (Germany, Hungary, Slowenia and Italy).
I would get a pair of Solovair if I had the money: https://eu.nps-solovair.com/
I have a pair of solovair, they are extremely well built. I would also say lanx shoes are good and they sometimes have really good deals on their site.
I have some, totally worth it
Portuguese shoes for farmers. Sold on the local market, cheap, solid - or overpriced and rebranded in stores all over Europe. You get them in several levels of fancy, starts at 25โฌ a pair.
Can you show an example of those? I'm going to Portugal soon and would like to buy new shoes while I'm there.
Man i keep wondering whats the deal with portuguese and shoes! It's like making indistructible shoes is part of the fucking constitution of Portugal
I have had two pair of shoes made in EU, Myrqvist and Wojas. I have not had the shoes from Wojas for a long time but so far they seem to be good. The shoes from Myrqvist was wearing down a bit fast than I hoped for.
Sievi. I use almost exlusively their shoes. Not the cheapest around, but for my feet they're the best I've found so far.
Veja
Saye
Sampla
Resently bought my first pair of Mustang shoes. Designed in Germany and made in Portugal.
Mukishoes. Very comfortable, leather ones are waterproof. Zero drop. They will resole them when the sole wears out.
Wildlings are very very comfortable, but the ones with the split sole fall apart after a couple years.
I enjoyed Jalas boots but I should kept better care of my jalas fantom drylock boots, got a hole in them and can't fix like regular leather. Or can but the waterproofing won work
I like my Veja https://www.veja-store.com/ It is not made in EU.
Had very poor experiences with durability of Veja shoes. I've use 2 pairs nd they both broke down within weeks...
Not surprised. It happened to one of the 3 I had. But I got it replaced for free .
Sadly because I didn't buy it from them directly, I didn't have that choice. But really made me distrust them as a sustainable option...
