A Small Footprint with a Large Impact.
At Stegmann, responsible sourcing is central to our ethos. Much of our wool is locally gathered from the Tyrolean Alps and Western Europe, supporting small farmers and preserving rare sheep breeds via our Species Preservation Initiative. For non-local sources, we prioritize responsibly sourced Merino blends.
Originally established in Germany, our European headquarters and primary production facility now reside in Tirol, Austria, complemented by strategic production partnerships near Porto, Portugal. Meanwhile, our US headquarters and distribution center are located near Richmond, Virginia, ensuring efficient service to our valued customers across the United States.
Each wool upper is handcrafted in our Austrian facility, ensuring consistent quality. Our cork footbeds are made from renewable cork bark sustainably harvested in Portugal. Similarly, our leather shoes, boots, and sandals are responsibly crafted in Portugal.
Finished in the USA: To complete the wool uppers, we add cork or poly soles right here in the United States. This not only lets us check for quality but also supports jobs in the USA, which is important to us.
Comfort You Can Feel, Quality You Can Trust
From the first sketch to the final stitch, Stegmann shoes are crafted with your comfort in mind. Built-in support features promote healthy movement, while premium materials deliver a luxurious feel - right out of the box.
Features such as interior padding, arch support, and a metatarsal pad encourage natural foot movement while providing orthopedic-level comfort. Every Stegmann shoe begins with a thoughtful design focused on wearer comfort and culminates in a premium product arriving at your doorstep, ready to be enjoyed.
