About Laufgut Paulig
Der Schuh Paulig GmbH trades as Laufgut Paulig and is a family business founded in 1995 by master shoemaker Stefan Paulig with locations in Hamburg-Volksdorf and Ahrensburg. The company combines retail shoe sales with its own shoemaking/workshop, orthopaedic shoemaking technology and podology practices. Products include orthopaedic insoles made after digital foot analysis, shoe adjustments such as shoe lifts or bunion, butterfly, rigidus and metatarsal roller modifications as well as orthopaedic bespoke shoes made by hand, plus diabetic protective shoe fittings and compression stockings based on 3D measurement. The workshop also repairs shoes and leather goods by hand; the materials processed are mainly leather and textiles. As a full-service offering for feet, the range is complemented by medical foot care (podology) and orthopaedic children's foot analysis with a radiation-free foot scanner and children's pedoscope. The store sells comfort shoes for women and men, and in Ahrensburg the children's shoe store Laufgut for Kids sells children's shoes in various widths up to size 42.
