In the heart of Langstraat, in the city of Waalwijk, Hermanus Greve began his shoemakers’ shop in 1898. From the very beginning his workshop had only one goal: to make Holland's most stylish and superior shoes. Since then Greve is a small, yet very exclusive Dutch shoe brand. Today we are still very much reminiscent of our rich history. We remain a proud family business, wich is currently run by one of the 4th generation of Greves: Mr. Jos Jan Greve IV.
The brand Greve became famous for its handmade, traditional brogues and moccasins. Today Greve is a stylish, fashionable shoe of inimitable quality. Since August 2015, that image is captured in a campaign, in collaboration with artist Marie Cecile Thijs. Also in this campaign you can see the hand of the Dutch Master. Produced with today’s techniques.
With over a century of experience as a manufacturer of the Netherlands’ most stylish footwear, Greve opts for the quality of its traditional craft, rather than mass production. Greve favours the individual, instead of the crowd.
Greve also employs people with a passion for their trade. They put a great deal of manual labour into making each shoe, thus vouching for ultimate comfort while applying their keen eye for detail. Master shoemakers: They turn every shoe into a Greve shoe, which stands for Design, Comfort and Craftsmanship!
