HANWAG boots and shoes are made in Europe. What does this mean exactly?
In the European Union, the specific country of origin of a product does not necessarily have to be shown. Nevertheless, HANWAG states quite openly where the shoes are produced, for example with the label "Made in Croatia". However, this label leaves room for interpretation: theoretically, the uppers could be manufactured on the other side of the world and only the soles assembled in Europe. But the HANWAG promise is: HANWAG shoes are 100% made in European countries.
