More than several of you have asked for a SHOE version of DAS SCHWARZE BOOT... so we've made one! 

Matt, durable, water-proof and timeless, DER SCHWARZE SCHUH is handmade from waxed, bull leather, tanned in the West of Germany. 

Not too shiny, not too matt, it's an elegant wardrobe staple; a willing everyday companion; a black labrador of shoes.  

Compared to our other shoes, it takes a couple of wears to break in - testimony to the seriousness of the leather involved - but it quickly softens up to the usual stratospheric levels of ATHEIST comfort. 

DER SCHWARZE SCHUH is... 

- fully lined with supple, creamy-smooth calfskin from the Netherlands

- handmade in Portugal, with heaps of care, by a family of artisinal shoemakers

- crafted with German leather, from a 130 year old family-run tannery, renowned for their high standards where the environment, animal welfare and employee working conditions are concerned

- bottomed with a dense rubber sole that is both flexible and durable, and embossed with our ICH BIN ATHEIST motif

- very black.
