Description

Duckfeet in Denmark have been making shoes by hand for over forty years. Duckfeet are simple and functional, typical of mid-20th century Danish design. Duckfeet’s foot-formed design allows room for the toes to spread naturally as you walk, and for air to reach the feet. Leather midsoles and uppers breathe and transport moisture away from the foot. We use leather because it’s strong and long-lasting, but also flexible – allowing the shoe to move with and mould to your individual foot shape.

No two pairs of Duckfeet are exactly alike. Every pair of shoes is treated individually during production, the natural tanning and processing by hand allows for subtle variations in the leather. These variations are highlighted by the particular way you wear them, which imbues each shoe with personality, your story, for your life.

Sjaelland features premium full grain, double stitched and reinforced 100% leather uppers, insole, and leather midsole. Our non-toxic, vegetable tanned leather is manufactured according to strict environmental standards. It is drum dyed using high quality, non-toxic dyes and specially treated to be water and dirt repellant. Using traditional European Veldtschoen construction the upper is built up by hand over a flat last then the midsole is double stitched to our 100% natural crepe rubber outsole. Every pair of Duckfeet comes into contact with many experienced hands before they are placed in their box and fitted to your feet.

Uneven stitching

Whilst I want to love them the stitching on the right foot is not aligned and this really detracts from them.

big love for sjaelland - ordered on Monday, arrived on Tuesday.

I can't praise the Duckfeet service enough! I was looking at refurbishing my first pair of duckfeet (Fyns- purchased 9 years ago, worn continuously over that time and still going) but thanks to quick response and advice from the team it was clear they were past the point of a simple re-sole. I chose the classic sjaelland, confident I'd be getting a pair of shoes that last the distance and fit my feet beautifully- great for walking/standing at work all day (teaching in a classroom up to 6 hours a day) but I didn't expect next day delivery. I've worn my new feet a few days now and they're already starting to soften up and mold to my feet. Love them!

Heavenly Feet!

Who knew that my crushed pinky toenails had been a result of wearing the wrong shaped shoes all my life! Thank you for manufacturing a shoe tailored to the true shape of the foot. The most comfortable shoe I have ever worn and funky to boot (pun intended 🤣).
Best money I ever spent.
My little feet are in heaven…

High quality shoes but a little too roomy

I thought about buying duckfeet for ages because of the investment. I do like the style, quality and finishing and fact that my toes can finally wiggle the way natural has intended. However, my feet are quite narrow so they are a bit too wide in the mid section. I guess I will be wearing them with thick boot socks. So quite happy but not super happy.

Warm jumper for your feet

Bought these for my partner who describes her new duck feet as your favourite winter wooly snuggled up to your feet. Even know they are new they are like an old friend who knows you well- so cozy and stylish!
