Stegmann Clogs of Austria, specializing in natural wool felt clogs, has chosen Virginia based AGS Footwear Group as its distribution partner for the U.S.
"AGS Footwear Group is proud to be Stegmann's US partner," said Andy Jacobs, owner. "Our 83 years in business offers many benefits to this legendary brand, including enduring countrywide relationships with footwear retailers and valuable multigenerational distribution and fulfillment knowledge. The selling cycle of our Cudas water shoe and sandal brand is countercyclical to Stegmann, enabling our company to establish year round presence in new and seasoned stores. We look forward to this collaboration and to introducing Stegmann to new generations across the US."
AGS begins handling Stegmann US operations Spring 2015.
AGS Footwear Group, established in 1932 and based in Ashland, VA, includes water shoe and sandal brand Cudas Footwear, Superior Boot Co. and a private label footwear division.
Stegmann, based in Austria, has been making legendary wool felt footwear since 1888. The handmade footwear is created using mountain water, natural sheep's wool and contoured soles for natural comfort.
