Just wondering, what is your experience regarding shoes that are from EU?

Ecco (danish)
They really produce much in Europe? I thought most of their production is in Asia.
They also still AFAIK operates in Russia.
If you are into barefoot shoes Tadeevos are about as barefoot as you can get and I love them.

They are brits but hey not so far
Im not sure if this counts because they have factories around the globe, but the company is Danish: ECCO. They’re not the prettiest, but they’re the most comfortable shoes i know
Love them, been always hopping from brand to brand until I bought my first pair of them
German Hanwag. Their ”wide” 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.
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
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 25€ 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
At one point, in the early 2000s, there was a city in Portugal with a really high ratio of Ferrari cars per habitant. All because of a few owners of shoes factories. 😄
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
Currently very happy wearing Axel Arigato sneakers. Swedish brand, manufactured in Portugal.
Fluchos, made in Spain (La Rioja)
LOWA makes most of their shoes in Europe. I think mostly the trail runners are not. Excellent quality.
Joma (Spanish) are good ones. Also Paredes.
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).
Sievi. I use almost exlusively their shoes. Not the cheapest around, but for my feet they’re the best I’ve found so far.
