cultivating the expertise for
which the Heschung brand is
known. Expertise passed down
through the generations and
developed over time thanks to
the drive and enthusiasm of the
men and women of Heschung.

The genuine reverse-welted construction
has been meeting the most stringent
requirements of strength, waterproofing
and comfort since 1934. The leather welt is
fitted round the contour of the shoe and
sewn to the leather upper and the sole
with linen yarn soaked in pitch, which
seals the hole left by the needle and makes
the shoe waterproof.

stitching means all-round exellent quality for

Designed to last
Our commitment to the quality
of the materials used is a sign of

it's a way of life, our commitment
to future generations.
The Iconics
We are constantly returning to
the essence of what it means to
make good shoes, with style. A

because we have added some
nice touches but because every
single part is essential. Our
approach is driven by emphasis
on simplicity above all.
