ara Shoes headquarters in North Rhine-Westphalia
About us · Since 1949

Comfort begins long before you
slip on our shoes.

ara Shoes — rooted in North Rhine-Westphalia, worn in more than 50 countries worldwide. For over 75 years we've stood as a family business for quality, family tradition and honest comfort. Together with more than 2,220 employees and long-standing, often family-run partners we develop shoes crafted with care in our own factories and by long-standing partner workshops.

For us, comfort doesn't begin when you put on the shoes — it begins with trust in materials, craftsmanship and values. That's exactly where what makes ara comes from: modern design, tangible quality and a genuine feeling of comfort — step by step.

ara — Trust your feeling.
Because it knows your path.

Good. Better. Best.
The right answer for every customer.

Price-conscious models with reliable quality and familiar ara comfort create foot traffic and appeal to new customer groups.

More comfort. More performance on the sales floor.

High-volume best-sellers combine an attractive price level with noticeably higher comfort and convincing quality — the strong heart of the assortment.

03
Best

Tangibly special. Visibly premium.

Premium quality, distinctive materials and fashion impulses create products with strong presence — for a high-end assortment and a convincing brand statement.

AL Edition campaign — ara Shoes
AL edition · Spring/Summer 2027

Remarkably different.

“For women who know what they want.”

Our AL Edition combines selected leathers, exceptional craftsmanship and a clear, modern aesthetic. Every model exudes calm, quality and love for detail — creating a product experience that goes well beyond first sight.

More value for your sales floor.

For you as a retailer, the AL Edition brings a strong premium impulse to your assortment. It creates clear differentiation, opens up attractive price points and delivers convincing arguments for consultation, presentation and sales. Quality becomes not only visible but purposefully translates into added value for your customers and your turnover.

Three styles. Three personalities.

CINDY, PORTOFINO and ALABAMA are the three hero styles at the heart of the season – visible quality, selected materials and timeless elegance. We support them with extra attention for greater visibility at the point of sale.
