GDS - HÖGL enters the autumn/winter season with new, fashionable town shoes
Published:  05 March, 2008

Fashion in the coming autumn and winter remains simple and the shoe is the most important accessory. HÖGL, the Austrian quality shoe manufacturer, enters the autumn/ winter season with new, casual town shoes as a modern and elegant statement, and sporting boots with a focus on the functional finishing.

With fresh town-shoe pumps, ankle boots and boots in slightly turned-up round and rounded-off last forms, conical leather-coated heels and interesting materials, HÖGL brings a new casualness to shoe fashion.

Structured, soft caprettos, metallics, brushed leather and crocodile embossing give every shoe a special radiance and a new look, despite the dominated muted colours that are attuned to the outer garments in black, grey- and brown tones.

The decors are reduced according to fashion trends and specifically implemented. Raw edge straps, bandages, metal buttons and an independent ornamental design give the new HÖGL town shoes their fashionable chic.

Wearing comfort is guaranteed by the tried-and-tested softline concept with the pleasant soft tread through a special insole layer of foam, inner leather finishing and light, flexible soles, and additionally supported by functional patterns, such as Rock 'n' Roll, elastic inserts, soft upper materials and an optimum fit. Shortened pointed lasts and square forms with curved, conical heels of 35 to 60mm mark the elegant HÖGL collection image.

Low-cut designs in brushed leather foster fashionably current city boots through a material combination with nappa stretch in the leg area that are not only comfortable to wear but are also the suitable accompaniment for the dresses and skirts of the coming autumn fashion.

New ornamental developments gain not only significance in the HÖGLSwarovski collection. Individual designs and high-value materials in muted chrome looks mark the entire appearance of the collection. Heels and shoe points, for example, are refined with elegant galvano straps or decorated with glittering Swarovski crystals.

Further extended is the sporting winter offer with a focus on the functional Gore-Tex finish. New high-technology materials combined with leather, warm down-feather filling, fashionable stitches, newly profiled soles or wedge heels come into use for wearing in all weathers for relaxed, warm and dry feet.
