What makes our sustainable men’s shoes so special?
In our search for shoes that are produced fairly, sustainably and ecologically, whilst also being comfortable and functional, we couldn’t really find what we were looking for on the conventional footwear market. That’s why we launched the Doghammer brand in 2015. We want to fill this gap and offer everyone who, like us, is a true nature lover a functional, robust and contemporary alternative to the classic outdoor shoe – one that also meets the highest standards. All our shoes are designed to leave as small a carbon footprint as possible, whilst offering you, the wearer, maximum comfort and versatility. Our sustainable men’s shoes are just as at home in an active city life as they are at a mountain hut, on the mountains or on a backpacking trip. Doghammer shoes for men prove that style, functionality and comfort are by no means incompatible with the use of sustainable materials and environmentally and socially responsible production conditions! Our sustainable woollen shoes for men are brand new.
What types of sustainable men’s shoes are available?
Our range of fair-trade, eco-friendly and sustainable men’s shoes covers home, leisure and functional footwear. You’ll find casual slippers and house shoes, sporty everyday footwear, as well as outdoor footwear for specific needs. Summery cork slip-on sandals are just as much a part of the Doghammer range as sturdy, lined winter boots with non-slip Vibram treaded soles.
With our range, we aim to offer functional and comfortable footwear to everyone who, like us, enjoys spending time outdoors in nature – footwear that’s also suitable for urban settings. Fancy a spontaneous hike or cycle ride after work? No problem in our comfortable trainers with cork footbeds or our functional toe-separator shoes with treaded soles. Those looking for shoes with even better performance will find what they’re after in our men’s hiking boots with ankle-protecting uppers or our approach shoes with Climbing.Sohle. Whether you’re looking for vegan, waterproof or winter-proof Fairtrade shoes for men: Doghammer offers a comfortable, sustainable alternative to classic casual or outdoor men’s footwear.
What materials do we use to make our sustainable men’s shoes?
As we want our shoes to contribute to effective climate and environmental protection, we manufacture our fair-trade men’s shoes exclusively from materials that are sustainable and eco-friendly. As well as renewable natural raw materials sourced in an environmentally responsible manner, such as cork, wool, linen and cotton, we are increasingly turning to innovative recycled materials. Particularly for the production of our men’s barefoot shoes, we use wool and a combination of wool and cork. Both materials are characterised by their comfort and ensure that our men’s barefoot shoes are a pleasure to wear. Even offcuts from ski climbing skins or old climbing shoes are given a new lease of life by us in the form of comfortable hut shoes, slippers or outdoor sandals.
Where are Doghammer’s sustainable men’s shoes made?
Whether it’s summery cork flip-flops, casual jute and linen trainers, or functional approach, hiking or trekking shoes: all our eco-friendly men’s shoes are characterised by the perfect combination of functionality, comfort and an attractive design. Sturdy, durable materials and high-quality craftsmanship guarantee that you’ll enjoy your pair of Doghammer shoes for a long time to come. We place great importance on producing our items to the highest standards of craftsmanship and therefore rely on handcrafted production. Both at the family-run workshop in Portugal, with which we collaborate, and at our Rosenheim site, we offer our employees a fair, safe and supportive working environment. Because inclusion is just as close to our hearts as protecting the environment, we have been working with a organisation for people with disabilities in Rosenheim since the brand was founded. This is where our flip-flops are made in several stages – and can even be customised on request!
Sustainable men’s shoes: why they’re so popular
As well as a modern, sporty design, our main priorities when manufacturing our eco-friendly men’s shoes are comfort and functionality. Durable, robust materials such as cork or wool felt, used as the upper material for our trainers, outdoor shoes and winter boots, offer you protection against dirt and moisture. Both materials are naturally hard-wearing, whilst also possessing antibacterial and odour-absorbing properties. Our removable cork insoles ensure that your feet feel comfortably dry even after a long day in a pair of our closed shoes. Cork absorbs many times its own weight in moisture and stores it, releasing it again once you take your shoes off. At the same time, this rapidly renewable and recyclable material absorbs shocks and, in the form of our specially designed cork-rubber sole made from recycled cork and EVA, ensures that your steps are comfortably cushioned. This means your feet tire less quickly and are optimally supported.
What should I look out for before and after buying sustainable men’s shoes?
As a general rule, our eco-friendly men’s shoes fit true to size. So you can simply order your favourite pair of Doghammer shoes in your usual shoe size. If you’re unsure between two sizes, we recommend going for the larger size. With trekking or hiking boots, it also makes sense to choose a size larger than usual because you can then comfortably slip on a pair of functional socks. What’s more, your feet swell as the day goes on, and if you’re wearing a pair of shoes that give your toes plenty of room, you won’t risk bumping against the front of the shoe when going uphill or downhill. In the ‘Service’ section of our website, you’ll find not only useful information to help you before buying shoes – such as advice videos and a size chart – but also handy tips for after your purchase, including practical care and cleaning advice for your sustainable men’s shoes from Doghammer.
