Sioux

The Sioux Native Americans mostly wore their moccasins to protect their feet from stones and thorns, and this footwear was usually made out of locally available deerskin – a resource that’s totally renewable and recyclable. This Great Plains semi-nomadic tribe entered American consciousness through their proven bravery and fighting qualities. Toughness and the Sioux nation became virtual synonyms, and made the name Sioux a good choice for stout footwear.

The story of Sioux footwear

The story of Sioux footwear actually begins in post war Germany in 1954, with the idea of reproducing Sioux style moccasins. By 1964, the company’s product range had diversified with over 10 million pairs of their Grasshopper model alone eventually being produced for the world market. By 1972, they were officially Germany’s sports shoe manufacturer and this rise to fame has been followed by even more success.

Sioux footwear in today’s world

Sioux have produced a diverse range of footwear for all occasions, ranging from boots for riding the Great Plains prairies through to stylish evening wear that will work well with clothes from Plein Sud. Apart from the rigorous quality control which ensures everyday practicality to match their modern style, Sioux footwear is aimed at a more affordable marketplace, offering great value to make your money go further. Why not partner up a pair of Sioux shoes with something a little more casual from Oxbow?
