Some of our models are waterproof or water-repellent. All products in this category are marked accordingly as "waterproof" or "water-repellent" on the product page.
All waterproof models have a 360° Tex membrane for maximum breathability and dryness in wet conditions.
Water-repellent models are made of materials or membranes that repel water on slightly rainy days.

Our shoes are compatible with orthopaedic insoles. We recommend making sure that the insoles are not too thick or too high, as otherwise the foot will be too high in the heel cap and will no longer be properly supported.

All models listed under "Legends" will no longer be produced in the future.

No, due to the already greatly reduced price. The "Legends" models are excluded from exchange and return.

Some GNL laces are elastic and 50% stretchable. This means you can save yourself the hassle of lacing and simply slip in and out of your shoe after adjusting the laces once.

To adjust the elastic laces, pull them as tight as necessary. Then tie new knots and cut off the rest. It's that simple!

Our shoes generally fit true to size. If you are unsure, we recommend that you use the size chart on our website.
Waterproof models with a Tex Membrane may run one size smaller due to the membrane’s additional material which can decrease the overall volume inside the shoe.

GNL shoes are neither particularly wide nor narrow cut. The great thing about GNL is that they adapt to your foot thanks to their soft and flexible materials.
If you have very wide feet, the shoes will soon feel like socks after a little break-in.
If you have very narrow feet, the fit can be adjusted very easily using the laces. If you have particularly wide feet, we recommend choosing a half size or size up.

The general rule is that you should go with the larger foot. This means that if one is 41 and the other 42, we recommend size 42.

Due to the size of our company, we are not yet able to offer shoes in half sizes. However, we are endeavoring to make this possible in the future, as well as to offer shoes in more sizes! We are aware that particularly larger sizes are in demand.

We recommend that leather and vegan leather shoes be waterproofed at least twice before you wear them for the first time. Leather and vegan leather reacts well to good care and therefore lasts a very long time. Shoes should therefore be treated regularly with care products and impregnation. This keeps them looking good and repels dirt and water

For cleaning, we recommend water and a damp cloth to wipe away the dirt, or a little liquid soap such as dishwasher detergent and water together with a fine brush especially for leather and suede. Make sure you wash off the soap and allow the shoes to air dry. Finally, we recommend using a shoe spray to protect leather and synthetic materials.

The textile insoles of leather shoes can be washed in the washing machine at a maximum of 30° Celsius and should be left to air dry.

We recommend impregnating textile shoes with a suitable spray before wearing them for the first time and on a regular basis.

If they are dirty, we recommend using a fine brush with a little soap or dishwasher detergent to remove the dirt. We strongly advise against putting the shoes in the washing machine, as this can damage the material and weaken the glue in the sole. After cleaning your shoes, always leave them to dry in the open air and then use a protective spray to protect them from dirt and water.

Textile insoles are machine washable at a maximum of 30° Celsius and should be dried in the open air.

Yes, the textile insoles are machine washable at a maximum of 30° Celsius and must be air-dried.

GNL shoes should not be machine washed. A wash cycle in the washing machine, combined with the temperature, can cause the glue on the sole to dissolve and can damage the materials and construction of the upper.
