DEICHMANN Must-Haves
Ladies
Even if it doesn’t feel like it, next summer is never very far away. And of course DEICHMANN is always ahead of the crowd in knowing which shoes we’ll be wearing in the coming season.
This time it will be comfortable wedges, summery espadrilles, light-as-a-feather sneakers or boho-style sandals. And on cooler days, we’ll be playing it safe with ankle boots in a suede-look or with floral prints. Whether with jeans or a summer dress, you’ll always look the part in this combination.
Metallic and glitter appliqués for sneakers and espadrilles will continue to be a big trend. Thick soles are also still very much in and they’re not only comfortable to walk on, but are also upping the style factor. Block heels, elegant stilettos and denim-look models are additional highlights to look forward to. Unusual add-ons like pom-poms or tassels, soft upper materials, prints and jute and woven looks impart an individual touch.

Shoe Fashion Trends Spring/ Summer 2015
Lightness and sophisticated chic in light tones
Airy, light and casual are three words to describe the fashion of spring and summer 2015. Tops and dresses gently caress the figure with flowing fabrics. Wide-cut, cropped trousers – so-called culottes – and tight shorts are just as suitable for summer as wrap skirts in mini or midi. This season’s fashion favourite is the jumpsuit, which already caused a sensation back in the 70s and 80s. Even if black is still playing an important role, this season will be mainly defined by light and pastel colours. On-trend colours are white and white-similar colours, pink and champagne tones, light blue, mint, apricot and beige and nude.

More volume, easy chic and boho style
The fashion of spring and summer 2016 will be predominantly light and bright, and sporty styles will continue to play an important role.

Jumpsuits and maxi dresses in seventies style are taking the fashion world by storm. As well as delicate pastel tones, nude and beige, brilliant white is setting the tone and vibrant orange, mustard yellow, pink and cognac are just as popular.

Growing with the internet – from Shop to Facebook
19. August 2010. When DEICHMANN started its online shop in 2000, it was regarded as a pioneering venture by the industry. Shoes on the internet? This was definitely new territory. But Europe’s largest shoe retailer was not afraid to tread new paths; it knew the ropes of experiments. As early as the 80ies, DEICHMANN were the first to introduce a self-service system in shoe retailing, which was initially the subject of some ridicule by the competition, but was very quickly accepted by their customers.

Gallus – the men’s shoe brand with tradition celebrates its 130th birthday
Most men prefer straightforward shoes with no frills: high-quality, hard-wearing leather, first class finish, traditional forms and above all comfort. This could be a statement straight from the 1920ies. That this would still apply in 2010 and that even customers in the far away Gulf States would buy Gallus men’s shoes, could definitely not have been foreseen by the shoemaker and founder of the Gallus brand, Heinrich Vogels.
