About us
Since its foundation in 2000, Pedro Martin, founder of the Spanish brand “Martin Natur”, has pursued the goal of designing shoes that offer exceptional comfort and promote a healthy foot environment. From the very beginning, he focused on vegetable-tanned leather - a natural, time-tested material that he sourced from the Allgäu region in Germany. This chrome-free, natural leather not only ensures excellent breathability but also makes the shoes ideal for allergy sufferers.
The high-quality leather is still responsibly handcrafted in Spanish family-run businesses, maintaining a close collaboration that guarantees consistently high quality while blending traditional craftsmanship with sustainable production.
In 2024, Iris Mesenbrink took over the “Martin Natur” brand for the adult shoe segment through “Pantolinos Manufaktur GmbH”, a company that has been producing baby shoes from the same natural leather in Germany for over 20 years. The company's headquarters were relocated to Germany, yet the strong connection with Spanish production facilities remains intact. Our models continue to combine high-quality, vegetable-tanned cowhide from Germany with fair production practices in Spain.
This unique combination is the cornerstone of the wide variety of models and the outstanding quality that “Martin Natur” is known for. With a special fit and exceptional comfort, our shoes are especially popular with those who have special foot needs, whether for hallux valgus, swollen feet, or simply for the desire for comfortable, well-crafted footwear.
