Tils grashopper 001

Limited edition from the Til Schweiger x Sioux collection. The natural-looking and unmistakable style of the original Grashopper underpin the casual look of this shoe. Til Schweiger personally chose both the quality of leather and colours for this model. The models are crafted by hand from fine-grained calfskin suede and are a true classic among the moccasin-style shoes. The genuine crêpe sole made of natural rubber ensures a uniquely cushioned tread. This cult shoe is the perfect companion for everyday wear. The colours can be perfectly mixed and matched with your outfits for a stylish casual flair. The embroidered Barefoot logo makes the Til Schweiger Grashopper limited edition unique and unmistakable. The suede used for this model comes from the Oehler tannery in Marbach (Baden-Württemberg), approx. 20 km from Sioux's headquarters. The Oehler tannery, which dates back to 1823, is now in its sixth generation and is the last suede tannery in Germany. The raw materials come from Europe, with the leather being tanned and finished in Germany, i.e. a 'Made in Germany' product, meeting the highest global quality and social standards. The top-quality full-grain leather used is colour-dyed and hydrophobic, i.e. it has the benefit of being permanently water-repellent without any external application of waterproofing. The crêpe sole (made of natural rubber) provides enhanced comfort when walking. Crêpe soles have become very rare indeed in today's footwear. Insiders love this particular type of sole: crêpe soles guarantee comfort when walking even though they are a little heavier than rubber soles. Feet do not get as tired when standing or walking for long periods, as is often the case with other types of sole. Crêpe soles are made of genuine natural rubber (by scoring rubber trees; this does not hurt the tree). Consequently, crêpe soles are significantly more sustainable than either rubber soles or TR soles which are derived from mineral oil products and/or oil derivatives. Furthermore, crêpe breaks down more quickly in the natural environment than soles made of synthetic materials. Moreover, crêpe soles give shoes a fashionable chicness. Not only do they look very natural but, over time, they also develop a typical greyish patina on the underside.
