Two brands, one passion
Visit nowThis Dad Sneaker transforms any casual look into an absolute eye-catcher. The combination of soft velour, matt calfskin, and modern mesh gives this shoe its distinctive dynamic. The thick sole, a combination of EVA and rubber, turns even the simplest outfit into an extroverted statement. A combination of the modern with a timeless sporting appeal.
The combination of different materials is what gives these sneakers the visual dynamism for which "Dad Sneakers" have become so well known. There are three main components that make up the shaft of this shoe: The calfskin is a particularly striking feature, with a matt look that lends it the feel of a smooth leather; soft velour sections integrated in Portugal, where the shoe is manufactured, provide a rugged contrast; and the use of a sporty mesh completes the trio.
Another feature that defines this style of shoe is its particularly striking sole. Just like the upper, it too is constructed from a variety of materials and, thus, guarantees the wearer a singularly comfortable walking experience. The thick sole is predominantly made of light gray EVA, interspersed with rubber sections in a light beige. The tongue of this modern shoe bears the printed lettering of our "Berlin N91" collection, which is also immortalized by laser on the rear sole. Thanks to its rich detailing and the use of the finest materials, Model N° 30 WS is a winning combination of a modern "it piece" and a timelessly athletic trainer.
‘Trainer’ is a catchall term that refers to athletic shoes. These types of shoes were first produced in America in 1860. Known for their flexible rubber soles, these comfortable shoes were originally created for track and field events, the requirements of which continue to influence trainer design. Trainers have been popular since the 1960s, and are worn on an everyday basis. Today they are available in all kinds of forms and colours—the trainers in our collection, for instance, are special, premium models.
The trainer last is very similar to the sporty last — it also ensures wearing comfort at the ball of the foot. This type of last is distinguished by a gently rounded toe cap, flat instep and roomy overall width. Suitable for average-width feet.
This shoe’s upper is made from the finest, medium-soft calfskin. It’s primarily distinguished by its supple, velvety feel and delicate grain.
Processed velours is an extremely fine, fully-dyed type of rough leather that is taken from the flesh side of the hide. Velours is extremely soft and resistant to soiling. It is easy to care for; regular brushing with a suede brush suffices to keep your velours shoes in good shape.
With a bonded style, also known as the AGO method (Another Great Opportunity), the upper is pinched inwards with the aid of a machine and glued to the inner sole.
Mass-produced shoes are glued together on assembly lines. All of our premium, full-leather shoes, on the other hand, are handcrafted to the finest standards of quality. You can see and feel the difference.
Of course, our focus is on your new pair of shoes. But to underline our passion for our products, we enclose a few extras in your shipment. We hope that sparks your excitement about your new footwear.
Our passion for our products is reflected in their packaging. All of our shoes come in an elegant black shoebox emblazoned with the SHOEPASSION.com logo. Said shoebox is easy to open, thanks to a special opening on the side, and comes with a note on our philosophy.
These shoes come stored inside two shoe bags, packed into a shoebox. Shoe bags are a great way to maintain their condition—they protect your footwear from soiling and scratching. They also let you transport your shoes in style.
Goodyear-welted shoes last far longer than mass-produced models. A dedicated cleaning and care routine is an indispensable part of keeping your shoes in mint condition. An introductory guide to shoe care is included with your order.
SHOEPASSION - ONE STEP FURTHER
While most of our peers in the shoe industry are still unable to guarantee shoes that are »made in the EU«, we’re able to prove that our shoes are just that. We use leather from France and Germany, manufacture our shoes in Spain, and run distribution and logistics in Germany—our shoes are 100% made in Europe.
For many companies, all that matters are the profits; they fail to take notice of the disastrous conditions under which hides are taken in Bangladesh, or shoes are manufactured in China. We turn instead to traditional European tanneries and Spanish craftsmanship, to the benefit of man and nature alike.
Our promise: since you’re purchasing directly from the manufacturer, you’re spared the typical high margins. You’re also spared the additional cost of paying for a brand name. Thanks to our advantageous wide reach and our low cost structure, we’re able to offer sensationally low prices.
From the provenance and treatment of the leather we use, to the conditions in our Spanish factory, to delivery with our logistics partner, we don’t leave any stone unturned. We provide copious, transparent information on every step in our supply chain.
SHOEPASSION.com was founded by a pair of shoe lovers, and each and every employee focuses on satisfying our shoe-loving customers. Whether it’s graphic design, sales, marketing, editorial, or customer service, we handle all aspects of our business internally, ensuring our total control over all processes. We’re also owner-managed.

You can read reviews from other customers as well as experts in the shoe industry on the SHOEPASSION.com site. Your satisfaction is our top priority!
Lots of brands are quick to conceal the production methods behind their products, as well as the origins of the materials they use. We, on the other hand, have nothing to hide. From the very beginning, our products have been »Made in the EU«, in the classic sense. As such, we treat both our fellow man and the natural environment in a way that’s ecologically sustainable and ethically responsible. Each step on our supply chain is entirely transparent for you to see—that’s a promise we’re happy to stand by.
