Love my new Sonderborgs!

Normally when I buy a new pair of boots the first thing I wouldn't be doing is walking 56kms over 4 days in them, in Hobart. But I did and I am quite surprised that I only needed to grab a blister sticker for them on day 3 (the blister hadn't burst either!). These are a very comfortable pair of boots, my feet feel very spoiled indeed! The sheepskin lining is LUSH!

Ringkobing Sandles: Perfect in everyway!

Wearing the Ringkobing sandles I feel like I am not wearing shoes at all. I am wearing them from morning until night with no discomfort. They have wonderful grip, last night was raining and I had to walk down a steep hill in the dark. They really do feel like I am walking in bare feet as I have no pain and feel completely sure of foot even when out on slippery rocks when hiking. I love them so much that I am replacing all my shoes with Duckfeet shoes. Simon and Amanda are a great help, they understand their shoes perfectly and the suitability for different foot shapes. They give wonderful advice with grace and humour.

So good

I struggle with inflammation in my feet and have struggled to find shoes that are comfy when I am in a flare and are warm enough for winter. These shoes tick all the boxes!

Looking down at my feet brings a smile to my face! I have wide feet and struggle to find shoes I like that feel comfortable. I love my green boots and look forward to starting a collection!!

Best boots ever

The Sonderborg is so comfortable with no wearing in needed, just soft leather. Thank you to Simon for ordering my very large size when it wasn’t on the online shop.

Really pleased

I had a pair years ago in Europe and was so thrilled to be able to find them here. I am thrilled with my pair and now live in them.

Excellent Quality and Comfort

I usually wear "barefoot" minimalist footwear, so finding a pair of "normal" boots with a toe box wide enough to not cramp my toes was wonderful. I find the small heel hardly noticeable and the Sonderborgs are made with such beautiful soft leather that they're instantly comfortable. I went up one size as suggested by the sizing chart and the fit is perfect, with room for thick-ish socks and no pressure points anywhere. The crepe sole seems tough and has enough traction for daily casual wear. The nut colour is gorgeous. I now have some great-looking "normal" boots! Love my Sonderborgs!

Effortless shoes

I was pleasantly surprised to find the 'no need to break in your shoes' claim turned out to be true! Popped them on and have not had an issue. Normally I'd be taking a break, getting out the blister stickers or using some method to break in new shoes. The shoes are comfortable and classy. Perfect for work or leisure time. Really pleased with purchase and looking forward to getting a wool lined version soon

Multiple reviewers demonstrate exceptional brand loyalty, with one customer repurchasing after years and another planning to build a collection of different colors.

What makes the leather quality special?
