I recommend IceBugs, Swedish manufacturer with environmental profile. Absolutely awesome running and trekking shoes and their insoles are way better than the ones from a regular shoe store.

Also Adidas is still German, isn't it? They still have good soles on their sneakers.

Adidas is German, but they do not produce in the EU (at all I believe) Same for Puma. Trigema is German and produces in Germany

I though of Trigema too.

ArmedAngels is German, ethical and organic, they produce in Turkey or Portugal.

Schiesser is a German brand for underwear producing in EU.

That's just what I can think of right now, the list should be much longer if you mind to look out for it, a lot more than five.

Portugal produces a lot of shoes as far as I know. Veja for example. But I guess there are many more brands.

There are a lot of smaller companies, such as HessNatur
