The Best of German Footwear for Spring/Summer

What is it about German manufacturing that makes German-made products so sought-after? Is it the innovative approach to problem solving in the research and development phase? The attention to detail in their design? The precision and accuracy in every step of the manufacturing process?

Whether we’re talking about the latest BMW, Montblanc luxury watches or high-end footwear that’s as practical as it is stylish; there’s no denying that German design and workmanship is synonymous with elegance, sophistication and impeccable quality.

And with spring fast approaching, the sun promising to come out and the need for lighter, breezier footwear on its way, it’s time to update your wardrobe with some spring-appropriate shoes from Deutschland!

In fact, German shoes are the most sought after, here at Peter Sheppard.

So, without further ado, here are some of our top picks for introducing a little touch of Germany to your shoe collection this spring. 

1. WALDLAUFER WALLERT

Perfect for spring and right through summer as well, the Wallert offers a more laidback style without sacrificing practicality. Crafted from high quality plain and printed leather, this stylish shoe from Waldläufer has cutouts on the sides to ensure your feet stay well-ventilated, whatever the day’s got in store for you. Wear them to work and keep them on for dinner and drinks in town afterwards! With over 60 years’ experience as one of Germany’s leading footwear designers and manufacturers, any selection from Waldläufer promises to deliver unparalleled comfort.

2. ARA 28206

2021's Spring / Summer best seller returns in 3 new colour ways, a vibrant Metallic Sand Multi, a versatile black weave leather and a summer white weave leather. Ideal for summer with its open toe and cut-outs, this sandal is a two-tone style that draws on trends from the European runway. An all over leather composition, the sandal is spacious and tailored to the needs of broader feet. The wedge heel stands at 2cm and meets a rubber sole with lugs for additional grip. A perfect example of fashion meeting function.

Ara has been the forefront of German footwear for over 70 years. Ultra-flexible outsoles, stretch fabrics and techno gel shock-absorbing heels are distinctive additions to every shoe.

3. SIOUX CORDERA

Engrained with tradition and technique, the Sioux Cordera is a versatile wardrobe staple for seasons to come. Weaved leather and summery seams makes Cordera perfect for warm evenings spent with friends in summer. A 2 cm heel means you'll wear this shoe with ease throughout the day and into the night. Cordera is a style for contemporary women searching for their next moccasin.

If you’re looking for precise, detailed craftsmanship where comfort meets style, Sioux footwear is the brand for you. Known as moccasin specialist, each shoe embodies lightness and comfort all day long.

5. LLOYD EARL

For the fellas with a jam-packed social life and busy work schedule, it’s important to find a shoe that’s appropriate for business and leisure simultaneously. Introducing the Earl – specifically in a luxurious shade of cognac. Exquisitely handcrafted with care in Germany (along with every other fantastic release from LLOYD in the last 130+ years), this classy sneaker is the ideal blend between smart and casual. The smooth leather and minimalist design ensure you’ll never look out of place in any occasion, and the neutral colour tone complements any spring outfit you desire.

Of course, if you feel that the Earl strays a little too close to the “casual” side of the scale, why not invest in the LLOYD Langston instead? Choose between sophisticated ocean or rustic Havana colour tones.
