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

Jack&Jones, Lacoste and Adidas are my favourites.
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.
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
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.
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.
Fluchos, made in Spain (La Rioja)

They are brits but hey not so far
Currently very happy wearing Axel Arigato sneakers. Swedish brand, manufactured in Portugal.
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
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).
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…
