THE LIGHTNESS OF BEING:
JOSEF SEIBEL GOES LIGHT + EASY FOR SS2026

JOSEF SEIBEL steps into the warmer season with ease – the traditional shoemaker from Hauenstein in Rhineland-Palatinate pampers discerning feet in Spring/Summer 2026 with technical innovations, a vibrant palette of colours, and ultra-comfortable widths. Colours and shades capture the light-hearted spirit of the season: maritime blue and white feel like a refreshing sea breeze, natural tones like brown, amber and beige evoke the warmth of Marrakesh, vibrant fuchsia recalls the splendour of bougainvillaea, and zesty hues bring to mind the carefree scent of summer meadows.

Whether sneakers, ballerinas or sandals – material variety takes centre stage!
The new collection impresses visually in both clean chic styles and refined material combinations. Leather meets textile and woven raffia inserts, while metallic prints and pop colours exude pure joie de vivre. A key focus: knits. The breathable, flexible upper material provides an airy, feel-good climate – especially in trendy sneaker models. Cork once again proves its versatility as a fashion statement, from subtle to bold – including in the Germany-made Iconic Sandal.

The Spirit of Nature barefootwear range delivers everything needed for a natural walking experience: walking as if barefoot with ultra-lightweight, slip-resistant materials, maximally flexible soles, zero heel drop and generous toe boxes – all promoting natural movement, foot health and maximum comfort. A standout innovation in the barefoot segment: EasyON – enabling effortless entry into models like Wynona and Wallace, with no bending or lacing. With this, JOSEF SEIBEL perfects barefoot comfort and further strengthens its reputation as an innovative and forward-thinking footwear manufacturer. The barefootwear line offers a wide array of materials across numerous models – including ballerinas and sandals – in brilliant summer colours. With four groups spanning all colour worlds, it forms an essential part of the JOSEF SEIBEL SS2026 collection.

Maximum comfort defines Clint and Cheryl thanks to Rebound+. These top-tier sneakers boast a mega bounce effect through their technically sophisticated, featherlight and flexible soles. The core, made from innovative TPEE, delivers a 40% higher rebound effect, while the rubber outer sole includes a cork content. Their outstanding shock absorption ensures a cushioned step that feels like walking on clouds. The range includes premium nubuck and nappa leather models as well as trendy knits – all equipped with EasyON. In addition to its high design standards, JOSEF SEIBEL continues to deliver smart comfort innovations for discerning feet.

In terms of outsoles, SS2026 sees the launch of Gavin and Gabby – two new models with a fresh comfort fit and a newly developed EVA 2.0 EVA-Rubber sole. Emeric, a new sporty men's sandal, complements the iGoDynamic series as the perfect counterpart to the women's model Estelle.
