What is ZAQQ?
ZAQQ is a footwear brand specialising in barefoot shoes. It was founded by Matthias and Andre, and its models are developed in house by the founding team. The brand presents itself as focused on quality, sustainability and innovation.
Products and positioning
ZAQQ shoes follow barefoot principles. Their zero heel construction is designed to protect the joints and support a healthy posture, while flexible, thin soles allow natural movement of the foot. The range includes leather models, vegan styles and waterproof versions, covering everyday shoes, boots and seasonal models for women and men.
Production takes place in Germany in the company's own manufactory, where rubber soles are sewn by hand. This in house manufacturing is a central part of the brand's quality and sustainability message.
Distribution
ZAQQ sells primarily through its own online shop, which operates in several European languages and serves customers across Europe.
Why it matters
ZAQQ is part of the growing barefoot footwear category, where direct to consumer brands compete on health benefits and product transparency. Its decision to keep manufacturing in Germany sets it apart in a segment where much production is outsourced.
