A globaler player
at the heart of Europe.
Since 1872.

Pioneering knowledge and true concern are our recipe for success.

Perfect craftsmanship and top quality materials have the highest priority in the production of our collections for women, men and children. The company was founded in 1872 by the Strakosch family. In his day, Otto Strakosch was considered the “king of shoemakers”. His women’s shoes – made of the finest silk, artfully embroidered, lined with leather, all the way to the very finest exquisite leather pumps – were delivered all over the world.

Today, we offer our collections under the superfit, legero and Think! brands in 42 countries. As an owner-managed company with around 2,000 employees and headquarters in Feldkirchen near Graz, we have an international presence with our own production sites and sales companies.
