Just wondering, what is your experience regarding shoes that are from EU?
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.
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. 😄
Can you show an example of those? I’m going to Portugal soon and would like to buy new shoes while I’m there.

This one with shoelaces, there’s also in smooth leather and without shoelaces, all similar shape like these.
Those look great, thank you! I will try to find some in the market
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
Sievi. I use almost exlusively their shoes. Not the cheapest around, but for my feet they’re the best I’ve found so far.
Fluchos, made in Spain (La Rioja)
Currently very happy wearing Axel Arigato sneakers. Swedish brand, manufactured in Portugal.

They are brits but hey not so far
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.
Joma (Spanish) are good ones. Also Paredes.
I like my Veja https://www.veja-store.com/ It is not made in EU.
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
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
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).
LOWA makes most of their shoes in Europe. I think mostly the trail runners are not. Excellent quality.
If you are into barefoot shoes Tadeevos are about as barefoot as you can get and I love them.
Ecco (danish)
They really produce much in Europe? I thought most of their production is in Asia.
They also still AFAIK operates in Russia.
