Shoemaker's World Championship

Did you know?

When we have something custom made, authenticity is always important. When making a unique pair of footwear, for example, it is a fact not to be neglected if the shoemaker has been among the best in the World Championship of Master Shoemakers on several occasions. Most recently, he returned home with 4 gold medals.

Deutsche SchuhMacherTage is one of the largest international events in the shoemaking industry, which is held every third year in Wiesbaden, Germany. This event is for outstanding professionals in the industry providing an opportunity for them to demonstrate their knowledge and creativity. The purpose of the competition is to recognize and reward the best shoemakers, and to promote the preservation and continuation of craft traditions.

The history of the Deutsche SchuhMacherTage

The Deutsche SchuhMacherTage has a history spanning several decades and attracts hundreds of participants from all over the world each time. The competition takes place in several categories, one of the most important of which is "Maßschuhe", namely a group of made-to-measure shoes. In this category, participants start with uniquely designed, handmade shoes that are not only aesthetically stunning, but also provide the highest level of functionality.

The performance of Romulus Tibor Kozma in 2016

At the 2016 Deutsche SchuhMacherTage competition, Romulus Tibor Kozma gave an outstanding performance in the "Maßschuhe" category, where he won two prestigious awards. The work presented during the competition was highly appreciated by the jury, and as a result he received both bronze and silver medals.
