The outdoor shoe from Rosenheim

We have taken a closer look at the outdoor shoe by Doghammer from Rosenheim in Upper Bavaria. Our employee Lisa Himmelstoss tested the Natural Cork Adventurer, the new leisure shoes from Doghammer.


At first I noticed the unusual design of the shoe with a lot of love for details. You hardly find any other shoe that is made of such a striking material as cork. The mixture of cork and felt looks very natural and completes the attractive design of the shoe. I have tested the leisure shoe in my everyday life, on hikes, smaller mountain tours and while mountain biking. A real all-rounder – because the Doghammer Natural Cork Adventurer meets all these requirements. While wearing it, you notice how comfortable and light the shoe is. Even after longer tours there was no unpleasant pressure or any blisters on my feets.

 

 

Functionality OF THE DOGHAMMER SHOES


The inner sole is also partly made of cork. This makes it very breathable, so your feet stay dry even after long tours. For me one of the biggest benefits of this shoe. The sole has a strong profile which consists of a cork and rubber mixture. Thus the shoe guarantees a secure hold, even if you walk over wet and slippery ground.
The inner lining of the Cork Adventurer is made of merino wool. The temperature regulating wool warms on cold days and cools on warm days. So it was no problem to wear the shoes even on warm days e.g. in the office. The shoe has a small shortcoming in terms of water resistance. A little rain doesn´t bother it, but you shouldn´t necessarily wade through a river if you want to avoid getting wet feet.

Sustainability at Doghammer


However, not only the functional aspects of these outdoor shoes should be mentioned, also the sustainability factor. The packaging material is recyclable and consists of cardboard and paper. The shoes are made by Doghammer from renewable cork and, depending on the model, from natural wool or leather.
The production is in Portugal, which reduces long transport routes, such as across Asia. In Portugal the shoes are handmade in a small family-run business. And if the sole has worn out after many kilometres, it can be easily resoled in the local workshop in Rosenheim. At Doghammer, sustainability is really lived out and this is reflected in these outdoor shoes. One might think that this lived sustainability has an effect on the price of the shoes, but it has not.
 

Results: DOGHAMMER SHOES READY FOR any LEISURE ADVENTURE


The Doghammer outdoor shoe keeps his promises. It is super comfortable, sustainably produced and ready for any leisure adventure. The Natural Cork Adventurer is definitely a faithful companion. The only drawback I noticed is the lack of water resistance.
My tip: Doghammer shoes are about half a size bigger. If you’re unsure about your shoe size, you’d better try this shoe on in one of our stores so that you can enjoy it for a long time afterwards. The shoes do not differ in price from approach shoes of other brands. This Doghammer outdoor shoe is definitely recommended.
