The innovative air cushion sole with honeycomb technology:
The sole provides excellent grip thanks to the tread pattern on its surface. At the same time, it boasts an innovative honeycomb system comprising numerous small pockets of air. These honeycombs evenly absorb your weight when walking and standing, and ensure excellent comfort during the roll-through movement and general wear. Creating heavenly comfort – no one does it like Sioux.

THE LEATHER-COVERED REMOVABLE INSOLE:
The anatomically sculpted, leather-covered removable insole ensures a natural and relaxed gait. The active roll-through movement and arch support strengthen the muscles in the foot and take pressure off the spine.
We have also padded the edge of the shaft for extra comfort.
The wonderfully comfortable, extra-wide fit provides plenty of space (even for wider feet) and the high-quality interior will make you feel like you are walking on the clouds.

OUR PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOU
Shoe construction techniques
Why are there so many different shoe models? The construction technique used by Sioux depends on what the shoe will be worn for and what the wearer requires from it. Because, ultimately, the shoe must have a perfect fit.
Things you should consider when buying shoes
The following 10 tips will give you a practical guide and help you with your next shoe purchase. Besides the right shoe size and width, an optimal fit, skilful workmanship and the use of high-quality materials for the upper, lining and outsole are also important factors when it comes to quality and selection. We want you to stay feeling comfortable in your shoes for as long as possible.

Labelling of materials
A question frequently asked by our customers is: “How can I be sure that the material used is really genuine leather?"
The history of footwear
More than 40,000 years ago, people developed a need to protect their feet against adverse external conditions. It took several centuries, however, until the fashionable and comfortable footwear that we are familiar with today became available.

The combination of high-quality leather and our innovative Sioux-Tex climate membrane will give your feet that “feel-good” feeling: whilst moisture and vapour are quickly wicked away from the shoes, water from the outside has no chance of getting in, meaning your feet are always warm and dry.

Shoe lining
Consumers often only pay attention to whether they like a shoe and whether it fits well. What is inside the shoe should also be a decisive factor: the shoe lining is often underestimated when buying shoes, despite being a key factor when it comes to comfort and health. Below we will explain the various types of shoe lining, their uses and the importance of shoe lining when it comes to your well-being.
Shoe soles
Whether they are a lightweight and flexible, feature unique air-cushioning or have a timeless and elegant leather sole: it's the perfect join of the shoe upper and sole which is the finishing touch to each and every shoe.
Shoe size and fit
As the foot performs a rolling motion when walking, it bears your weight in various areas and thus changes shape in doing so. The hallmark of a perfect-fitting shoe is that the toes and the foot itself have enough space within the shoe throughout this rolling motion and that the heel experiences sufficient grip. When a shoe fits, the heel does not slip out of the back of the shoe, and the shoe sits so perfectly in the midfoot area that the foot is supported – and is unable to slip forwards – hence the shoe pinching.
Shoe leather
Choosing the leather is very easy when it comes to Sioux shoes: we only settle for the best.
Shoemaking
There are lots of steps involved in making a shoe. From developing the model in the first instance, to the stamping, sewing and putting the finishing touches to the shoe at the very end.

In the 1960s, the natural form moccasin was a revolution. Today, the cult shoe is more topical than ever as a pioneer in modern casual wear.
