Every journey begins with a first step. FIDELIO owes its first step to Martin Kasperek. On August 1, 1995, he founds Kasperek KG, originally as a shoe wholesaler. Today, FIDELIO offers four product lines: Fidelio, Hallux, Multi Stretch and Softline. Thanks to continuous innovation and up-to-date fashion design, FIDELIO is successful worldwide and is considered a specialist for shoes with functional use. At FIDELIO, we have a clear goal: to produce comfortable and modern shoes that inspire every day and bring pure happiness to the feet. Reliability and trust are the cornerstones of our work. The name FIDELIO, derived from the Latin “fidelis” (faithful and reliable), reflects these values. We are proud of our ethical standards and our commitment to eco-social responsibility. We design FIDELIO shoes in Austria and focus on European quality. Each supplier is carefully checked to ensure compliance with environmental guidelines and quality standards. Wherever possible, we source materials from the region – such as our removable footbed from Upper Austria – to support the local economy and promote sustainable practices.
