JOSEF SEIBEL traces its roots to 1886 in Hauenstein, Germany, where brothers Carl-August and Anton Seibel founded the first shoe factory in the town. What began as a small family operation grew through multiple generations into an international footwear brand with a continued focus on craftsmanship, comfort, and quality.
Over the decades, the company has remained family-driven while continuing to evolve with the times. Its shoes have become more modern and versatile, but the underlying philosophy has stayed consistent: support people on their journey with footwear that feels good, fits well, and is made with care.
The brand expanded internationally in the 1990s, bringing its German shoemaking tradition to customers around the world. Today, JOSEF SEIBEL offers a broad range of men’s and women’s footwear, including casual shoes, sandals, sneakers, boots, clogs, slippers, and dress styles, all designed around the balance of comfort and style.
Even after nearly 140 years, JOSEF SEIBEL continues to look forward while staying rooted in its heritage—combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technologies, contemporary design, and materials chosen to support the next generation of footwear.
