Josef Seibel

Josef Seibel has been making shoes in Hauenstein, Germany since 1886, earning a reputation as one of Europe's most trusted names in comfort footwear. Now in its fifth generation of family ownership, the brand still builds shoes, sandals, sneakers, and boots around the same combination of quality materials and genuine comfort that defined it from the start. Explore our men's oxfords collection to see how Josef Seibel fits alongside other classic comfort brands.

The Story Behind Josef Seibel

Carl August Seibel founded the company in 1886 in Hauenstein, a small German village that grew into a center of the country's shoemaking industry. His son Josef later took over the business, guiding it through both World Wars before it passed down through subsequent generations. Today, Josef Seibel is run by the fifth generation of the founding family, still producing shoes in the original Hauenstein region while shoes are now made across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

What Makes Josef Seibel Different

Every Josef Seibel shoe is built around comfort insoles with shock absorption, arch support, and a toe gripper for natural movement, all paired with premium leathers and hand finished details. Many styles come in multiple width options, giving a more accurate fit for a wider range of feet. Waterproof and windproof materials appear across the brand's outdoor and winter styles, similar to the protection found across our women's waterproof collection.

Josef Seibel Styles to Explore

The collection spans casual everyday shoes, dressier oxfords and loafers, sandals for warmer months, and boots built for cooler weather. Sneakers bring the same comfort insole technology into a more athletic silhouette, while trekking and outdoor styles add waterproof membranes for wet conditions. Whatever the occasion, Josef Seibel styles are designed to work with the shape of your foot rather than against it.
