Ludwig Reiter founded his eponymous brand in 1885 with his wife Anna by establishing their first shoemakers workshop in Vienna, Austria. Now known throughout Europe and the world for the quality of its sports shoes and welted shoes, and run by the fourth generation of the Reiter family, the label also makes fine leather accessories. Though operating as a traditional family business, Ludwig Reiter continue to innovate, as can be seen through the design of their trainers and espadrillo.
