The finest Budapest men's shoes from Germany's most exclusive men's shoe brand - masterfully handcrafted since 1879.
Two brands, one passion
Visit nowThe Chelsea boot has always been considered an expression of modern avant-garde. Our Rendenbach Special Collection offers this popular men's boot with a glossy calfskin leather and the world-famous Rendenbach outsole. The crowning glory of this model, however, is the playful design of the paisley pattern that adorns this exclusive leather sole for the first time.
As a true all-rounder among men's boots, the Chelsea boot knows how to impress both in modern business and leisure wear. The model presented in our Rendenbach Special Collection continues to remain true to its simple elegance. The shaft, which extends just above the ankle, is traditionally unadorned, apart from the characteristic elastic inserts. The deep shine of the polished calfskin leather emphasizes its puristic charm, while the light shading achieved through the polish guarantees an impressive depth and dynamism.
The renowned Rendenbach sole of this Goodyear-welted, handcrafted Chelsea boot is not the only special feature that elevates this model among the elite of elegant men's boots: it also has a special appeal thanks to its paisley ornamentation. This floral design element, in its traditional elegant teardrop and leaf shape, is a true, global rarity, positioned on the wear-resistant leather outsole. Although this small detail remains largely hidden, it nonetheless impresses with its unobtrusive charm, and will not escape the attention of true shoe lovers.
Boots boast a high-reaching vamp of almost 5 to 10 cm above the ankle. They are more robust than classic low-rise shoes. Their construction offers feet great protection against inclement weather.
The standard British last form. Subtly and elegantly narrows at the front of the shoe, without sharply rising from the ground. The average width at the ball of the foot provides a great fit for average feet.
The upper part of the shoe is made from the finest, smooth calfskin leather. It owes its lustrous surface to an elaborate procedure in which it is polished to a high gloss, which also gives it fascinating tonal nuances. The elegant calfskin is further characterized by its delicate grain and exceptional refinement.
For the past 140 years, the traditional Rendenbach tannery has used oak bark tanning to produce leather soles—the process can take up to nine months. The resulting soles are prized worldwide for their durability and water repellency.
The gold standard when it comes to shoe manufacturing. Goodyear welting is a painstaking process that involves stitching the shaft and outsole to a thin strip of leather. Shoes made this way are extremely stable, durable, breathable, and easy to repair.
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.
The high quality of these shoes is reflected in their high leather content. Their uppers, lining, insoles, and outsoles are made from the finest leather. They even have leather heels, made by painstakingly stacking thin layers of leather on top of one another.
These shoes consist of roughly 65 separate parts. They took about 210 steps to assemble. We rely upon premium materials and traditional production methods to ensure that our footwear is of the absolute highest quality.
These shoes come equipped with a so-called "gentleman's corner". This is a small notch cut from the inside corner of the heel. This has a practical purpose—it prevents your trouser leg from catching on your shoe.
This shoe boasts a high proportion of leather, and has been assembled without the use of adhesive bonding—both of these factors ensure proper air circulation and prevent moisture from penetrating the surface. Dry, well-ventilated feet are healthy feet.
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.
Should you find yourself in need of new shoelaces, look no further: this pair of Goodyear-welted shoes comes with a spare pair of shoelaces. Made of 100% cotton and treated with wax, these shoelaces are of the very best quality.
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.

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.
