good taste requires training


Clinging to the Main river valley in Germany’s charming Freudenberg is the renowned

distillery Ziegler. Among oak barrels and copper kettles, we met up with its CEO (and

longtime friend of Ludwig Reiter shoes) Andreas Rock.

 
 

A company after our own heart, their combination of traditional craftsmanship, selection of the

finest ingredients and a continuous improvement of technique and knowledge, makes them

the brandy darlings of restaurants and gourmets worldwide.

 
 

The long journey from harvest to bottle is unique in the culinary world, like a marathon, its

distillate’s require patience and character to complete the course. This season we have spent

some extra time acquiring the finest sports-calf leather for our ‘Marathon’ trainer, naturing

refined qualities in our athletics.

 

 

This sporty limited edition leisure shoe was made from the finest French calfskin and finished

with contrasting stitching. A shock-absorbing sole makes it a comfortable everyday shoe thatcan be combined with both smart and casual wear.
