Ludwig Reiter Schuhmanufaktur

Allgemeine Informationen

Founded in 1885, handmade shoes are produced in the Vienna workshops of the recently renovated Suessenbrunn Manor, using the traditional Goodyear welting method. The manufacture of a pair of genuine LUDWIG REITER shoes requires more than 300 distinct steps.
Up to 50 of our own highly specialised artisans produce 30,000 pairs of LUDWIG REITER shoes annually, craft techniques that have almost vanished from the shoemaking trade worldwide.
Along with the timeless classics of men’s and ladies’ footwear, our collection extends to legendary design classics like the so-called “Maronibrater” (chestnut roaster) and of course shoes made to customer specifications.
The long-lasting exclusivity of products made by LUDWIG REITER—a family firm for over 125 years—is guaranteed not only by our unique location in Central Europe and the rare manufacturing methods but also by the world-wide sourcing of high-quality leathers and selected materials.
Our products are sold in 16 proprietary shops in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and England.. Moreover, LUDWIG REITER’s handcrafted products are available in more than 100 specialty shops worldwide as well as online under www.ludwig-reiter.com
