Colours and lively floral patterns are the distinctive traits of the 2019 Spring/Summer collection designed by Högl. Classic and refined, the women’s shoes developed by the renowned Austrian brand headquartered in Taufkirchen/Pram are the result of the perfect combination between craft processing techniques and innovative technologies. The product portfolio ranges from elegant to casual models with shaped fit, up to fashionable sneakers, all made with prime quality materials and hides, so as to give life to comfortable, breathable and durable creations. hoegl.com
The Högl success story began in 1935, with a small shoe workshop in the heart of the Innviertel region, near Schärding in Upper Austria. ‘Small but refined’ was Josef HÖGL’s motto as he started his career as a shoemaker.
Driven by a pioneering spirit and determination, he founded a company that for 80 years has grown over the generations to inspire women with its high-quality and fashionable shoes.
Time-honoured tradition, innovative craftsmanship and pure passion are the key ingredients for success, qualities that continue to characterise HÖGL – one of the most popular women’s shoe brands in Europe – to this day.
HÖGL, along with comfort shoe brands GANTER and HASSIA, has since been incorporated as a subsidiary of the family-owned LORENZ Shoe Group GmbH.
Principal owner Joseph Lorenz, his son Patrick Lorenz and co-owner Gerhard Bachmaier place the greatest value on the fact that HÖGL has remained in family hands since it was founded.
The firm’s continuing globalisation and expansion of export markets in Europe and Russia can be attributed to the visionary thinking and entrepreneurial spirit of Joseph Lorenz.
