Heinrich Dinkelacker
Heinrich Dinkelacker is one of Germany’s oldest and most prestigious men’s shoe brands, renowned for its handcrafted, Goodyear-welted footwear that blends traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance.
Founded in 1879 by Heinrich Dinkelacker in Sindelfingen, Germany—a town celebrated for its skilled artisans—the brand quickly established a reputation for producing sophisticated, durable shoes. In the 1960s, facing a shortage of skilled shoemakers in Germany, the company relocated its production to Budapest, Hungary, a city famed for its shoemaking heritage. This move aligned with the brand's emphasis on the robust "Budapester" style, characterized by features like double or triple soles and distinctive braided welts.
