Thanks to a hand-woven braided welt, this traditional plain Derby takes on an air of stylish refinement. Shoe lovers will immediate recognize the level of masterful craftsmanship that goes into making this kind of double-stitched men’s shoe. The aniline-dyed soft calf from which the shaft is made impresses with its satiny matt gleam and soft texture. As a crowning touch, the shoe features a double sole that includes an exclusive leather Rendenbach outsole and a meticulously assembled set of six nails. Combined with the shoe’s upper, this sole guarantees the utmost comfort and durability.
It takes over 300 work steps to make this wholly unadorned Derby with open three-eyelet lacing in our Budapest factory. Drawing upon their wealth of expertise and applying their love of detail, our on-site cobblers carefully create these luxurious testaments to the art of shoemaking. Heinrich Dinkelacker shoes have always been entirely made by hand.
Without Haste. Slow Fashion.
Today, as 140 years ago, only around 25 pairs of shoes are made each day. 300 work steps completed by hand and the finest materials, selected according to the principle that a premium shoe is made from premium components, define the difference between expensive and valuable.
Crafted by a master. Worn by an Expert.

Exclusive
Each day, only about 25 pairs of Dinkelacker shoes are made by the skilled hands of master craftsmen: this is one of them. As a result, Germany’s most exclusive men’s shoe brand is only available in limited qualities, from selected retailers or here in our online shop.

High-quality
Only the most sophisticated materials are used to make hand-crafted Heinrich Dinkelacker footwear. Moreover, each shoe spends six whole days on a last in our factory. This pays off for wearers, ensuring extreme durability and magnificent fidelity to fit that put this footwear in a league of its own.

Iconic
Heinrich Dinkelacker has gone further towards defining the Budapester than any other shoe brand. Some of our lasts have been in use for over 60 years. Our shoes feature striking and unique details that make them instantly recognisable to insiders, from top managers of stock-listed enterprises through to Berlin-based hipsters.
