BESSEMER, Ala. (May 17, 2017) — JAGDHUND, the Austrian-headquartered clothing line steeped in tradition, quality and innovation, is pleased to offer U.S. consumers its exclusive line of footwear. Three styles of boots and one style of rugged shoe are now available for both men and women. All four styles in the JAGDHUND footwear line are breathable and completely noiseless, making them ideal for any outdoor activity.

The three JAGDHUND boots, Schöpfl, Koppl and Pötschn, feature the proprietary SYMPATEX membrane between the leather upper and the upper lining. This special membrane protects the foot from exterior moisture, while keeping the boots completely breathable. Regardless of the weather outside, the inside of these boots will always be comfortable. In keeping with the JAGDHUND tradition of quality and utilizing the very best materials, all three boots as well as the Brand shoe offer the renowned Vibram® rubber outsoles. Known for its abrasion resistance, water- and winter-proof characteristics, the Vibram rubber outsole was developed and patented by mountain climber Vitale Bramani together with Pirelli and Goodyear engineers. The unique deep-tread design of this outsole guarantees the wearer the best of function while providing maximum comfort with an extra-long life span.

JAGDHUND footwear are designed to specifically address the varying needs of the outdoor enthusiast. Each features nubuck upper leather that is thorn and abrasion resistant; aniline leather lining; and removable, cushioned and contoured Volume Control Plate (VCP) insoles.

Weighing only 1.5 lbs., this boot features .28-cm upper leather, a bellows-style tongue, rubber coating on the heel and toecap, and a flex zone in the heel to protect the Achilles.
