One of our major goals is to manufacture sustainable and environmentally friendly products – starting with the selection of innovative, ecological raw materials, through the actual manufacturing process, to the recycling of any material residues. As a matter of principle, we are very keen to use raw materials of German or European origin in order to support our local supplier industry on the one hand and to guarantee short transport routes on the other. A point, by the way, that also contributes to the excellent eco-balance of our shoes. In addition to the origin of our raw materials, we also attach importance to their ecologically and socially compatible production. Our standard processed nappa upper leather and lining leather are all made in Germany. The highest guidelines are observed with regard to working conditions, wastewater disposal and environmental protection.

The actual tanning agents needed to make our leathers are obtained from the bark and fruit of various tree species. The use of these renewable raw materials conserves the natural resources of our earth and also results in a unique product that is excellently tolerated by the skin and guarantees maximum wearing comfort.
We also rely on environmentally friendly alternatives for synthetics. One example of this is the functional textiles of our VitalloFlex golf models, which are manufactured using the cradle-to-cradle process.
We also recycle valuable raw materials when disposing of leftover materials, and for this purpose we work together with a nearby environmental company, where acoustic insulation panels are manufactured from leftovers from our sole production.
