About Proalp

We develop, design and manufacture Proalp footwear in our old hometown Tržič in Slovenia, Europe. We are very proud of our centuries-old shoemaking tradition! Our town has original knowledge about quality shoemaking and first-class materials for shoes. At Proalp this tradition is combined with knowledge and experiences about foot health. We make shoes that allow natural foot movement and protect them when necessary.

Proalp’s oldest footwear program is sporty-elegant, these are shoes for everyday life. Spaciousness, breathability, durability, flexibility and colourfulness are their distinguishing features. They are favourite of those who want to wear comfortable and healthy shoes, but with a bit thicker sole than barefoot ones have.

Proalp’s barefoot shoes give maximum contact with the terrain, similar to walking barefoot. We are specialized in three areas of barefoot shoes: barefoot shoes for hiking, endless choice of colours and custom-made shoes.

Surrounded by a beautiful mountain world we are mountain lovers. As avid hikers we go to the mountains daily and know well the characteristics of quality hiking and mountaineering footwear. The classic Proalp’s hiking shoes have torsional stability for demanding terrains, while barefoot hiking models are popular for common hiking tours.

All Proalp models can be customize according to individual foot measurements. We are specialists in customizing and have already fitted many customers who do not find their shoes among standard models.

Finally, let’s set a few words about sustainable values. There were many world changes during decades of our shoemaking tradition, in the past such workshops as ours were common practice. Then corporations took place and many things went unsustainable way. Proalp’s story is different, we are maintaining the sustainable tradition from the past. Our main attributes are first-class materials and high-quality manufacturing process. Proalp footwear is entirely made of materials that are manufactured no more than 350 km far from our workshop. You can wear our footwear for years. We maintain its durability by offering repairs, corrections and sole replacements.

Proalp team has also tradition to pay attention to customers individually; nothing has changed even with the increase of online orders. Such approach is available because of fact, that we are small and flexible company. The Proalp team is connected with dedication and pleasure in shoemaking, as well as with the respect for shoemaking tradition of our ancestors.
