Description
Sønderborg (son-ar-bow) is the soft leather version of the Duckfeet favourite Faborg. No break in required. They are good to go out of the box.
Sønderborg seamlessly blends minimalist Danish design with European craftsmanship, tailored to meet the demands of active, adventurous lifestyles. Handcrafted with care and precision, these classic lace-up boots are designed to support natural movement across diverse environments, whether you're navigating city streets, mountain trails, or everything in between.
Each Sønderborg boot is crafted from soft premium Terracare® leather, known for its exceptional performance in varied conditions. Through meticulous tanning and specialized treatments, the leather gains practical weather resistance—protecting against morning dew and afternoon showers while maintaining breathability for indoor settings. Over time, it develops a rich, unique patina, telling the story of your individual adventures.
The signature Duckfeet anatomical toe box encourages natural toe spread, improving balance and comfort during long days on your feet. The six-point lacing provides precise adjustments, accommodating changes in foot volume throughout active days. Durable double-stitching enhances longevity, while traditional European construction ensures the boots can withstand tough conditions and varied terrains.
The distinctive crepe rubber soles offer exceptional grip on different surfaces while remaining comfortable, durable, and biodegradable. Plus, Duckfeet’s Australian resoling service extends the life of your investment, reinforcing the sustainable ethos behind every pair.
Whether life leads you to work meetings, weekend hikes, urban parks, backyard BBQs, or nights on the town, the Sønderborg offers all-day comfort and effortless style. Subtle variations in natural leather grain and the patina developed over time make each pair one of a kind—an authentic reflection of your journey.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE
Before ordering shoes, we recommend you measure the length of your feet to find the right size. Our chart may help you, but does not guarantee that the shoes fit.
To ascertain your measurement, stand on a ruler against a wall. Your measurement should include the entire length of your foot, measured from heel to longest toe.
Please measure both feet, and choose your size based on the largest measurement.
If your foot length equals the maximum on any of the measurements, please choose the next size up.
Boots with wool lining might need to be ordered in the next size up to accommodate the wool.

Caring for your leather Leather is skin, and skin needs care. We recommend that you apply a thin layer of leather conditioner or shoe cream at regular intervals. Don’t use too much at one time. It’s better to use a little less a bit more often. Let the shoe cream sit a few minutes and polish afterwards with a soft cloth. Use a shoehorn when you put your shoes on – they are easier to get on and the back will not be destroyed. Untie or unzip the shoes or boots completely when you remove them – so they are easier to pull off. It’s better for the shoes than trampling on them! If you care for your shoes regularly, you will enjoy them longer. Your shoes will be grateful for it. |
 |
If your shoes get wet Store your shoes in a dry and airy place. If your shoes become wet, fill them with crumpled newspaper and let them air-dry. When they are completely dried, you can again apply leather conditioner or shoe cream. Leather shoes should not be dried on a radiator – the leather becomes dried out and porous. If the leather gets water stains, take a cloth and make the whole shoe slightly damp. Treat the leather afterwards as described above. It is best to change your shoes daily. Give your Duckfeet a day’s rest, so they can release the foot’s moisture and dry thoroughly. |
 |
If your shoe get dirty If the shoes get dirty, clean them with a damp cloth. Let the shoes dry thoroughly and treat the leather again with shoe cream or leather conditioner. Be attentive to edges and seams, which should also be treated to maintain the leather and protect your shoes against water. |

Caring for crepe rubber Crepe rubber soles can become hard at low temperatures, but this can be avoided by storing the shoes at a temperature between 20-25C. If the soles become hard, you can place the shoes on a warm radiator, until the crepe rubber is soft again. Avoid contact with solvents. The rubber cannot tolerate it and can dissolve. |
