Men trachten shoes at MOSER Trachten

When choosing the perfect footwear for a traditional outfit, many men immediately opt for the classic Haferlschuh. These traditional men’s Trachten shoes are certainly the most well-known, but they are by no means the only option. Discover all the latest trends in traditional footwear right here at MOSER Trachten!

Traditional Shoes for Men – Classic or Modern?

The Haferlschuh is a true German footwear classic. Its original design has remained largely unchanged for more than 200 years. Made from genuine leather and adorned with beautiful contrast stitching along the sole, this shoe is not only functional but also visually appealing. However, even the most timeless classics eventually face modern alternatives.

In recent years, the younger generation has increasingly embraced less traditional yet still stylish Trachten shoes. Now, you can choose between Chucks-style or sneaker-inspired designs. These modern options are perfect for a youthful, more casual look and pair seamlessly with Lederhosen, a Trachten shirt, or a Trachten T-shirt.

FAQ

Which shoes go best with traditional leather trousers?

Traditionally, Haferl shoes are the first choice. They’re usually made of sturdy leather, feature side lacing, and have a rustic look – perfect with short or knee-length leather trousers. For a modern touch, you can also opt for simple leather sneakers.

Can I really wear sneakers with traditional outfits?

Yes, especially when paired with traditional jeans or a traditional-style shirt – it’s a growing trend. The key is to match colors and materials with the rest of your outfit. Models in muted natural tones or with traditional details work particularly well.

Which socks should I wear with Haferl shoes?

Knee-high traditional socks or calf warmers (“Loferl”) are ideal with short leather trousers. They not only add comfort but also complete the authentic alpine look.

How do I find the right shoe size for Haferl shoes?

Since Haferl shoes are often made from firm leather, it’s best to choose half a size larger – especially if you wear thick traditional socks. However, many models fit true to size – check the product description for details.

Are traditional shoes only for folk festivals?

Not at all. Simple Haferl shoes or traditional-style sneakers also look great for everyday wear with jeans and a shirt. They’re a stylish choice for anyone who likes to add a touch of alpine flair to their wardrobe.
