BUILT FOR THE LAND. MADE BY HAND.

NEARLY 200 YEARS
OF BOOTMAKING

In 1834 Johann Gottlieb Leipoldt opened the Wupperthal shoe factory deep in the Cederberg. 87 years on, Rev. Willy Strassberger took over from his father-in-law Gustav Schmolke, and in the early 1950s Heini Strassberger moved the operation to Clanwilliam.

Since 1 September 2026, Strassbergers are made at Bolton Footwear’s manufacturing plants in Cape Town.
