Sneakers that tell a story about a city, at a reduced price.
Elche, the birthplace of Spanish footwear
Hoff was born in Elche, near Alicante, the city that hosts a large part of the Spanish shoe industry. Its founders, Fran Marchena, who came from banking, and Luis Miguel Botella, an experienced industrialist, combined the know-how of the region with a very visual identity. The brand opened its first store in Madrid, then moved to Paris and London, where its colorful displays catch the eye. It targets both men and women, with models available in both styles. The French Days allow you to discover its pairs at discounted prices, in a selection that changes from one event to another.

Colours inspired by cities around the world
The principle of Hoff is based on one idea: each collection is inspired by a city, a neighbourhood, or an iconic place, and reflects its atmosphere in the shoe's colour palette. Montreal, Porto, Harlem, and Palermo have lent their name and shades to pairs, just like the Nile or the Louvre Museum. Each model combines colours like a travel souvenir, with three or four tones that complement each other between the upper, the overlays, and the sole. The result stands out from afar, without an overwhelming logo, and becomes the statement piece of an outfit.
Leather, suede and sole: what makes a Hoff sneaker
The Hoff sneakers adopt a shape inspired by retro designs, borrowed from past running and tennis shoes: low profile, layered overlays, slightly thick rubber sole. The upper combines smooth, durable, and easy-to-clean leather with soft suede that adds depth to the colours, sometimes enhanced with canvas. This mix of materials creates contrasts in both texture and shades. The low profile, flexible at the bend, is suitable for walking in the city, and the rubber sole grips wet pavements and cobblestones.
Maintaining suede and leather
Suede should be protected before its first outing with a waterproofing spray, reapplied regularly. It is brushed dry with a crepe brush to lift the nap, and a special eraser removes marks without water. Smooth leather is cleaned with a slightly damp cloth, then nourished with a colourless cream that prevents it from cracking. The rubber sole is scrubbed with an old toothbrush and soapy water. Between outings, shoe trees or newspapers keep the shape of the pair and absorb moisture.
Frequently asked questions
How do Hoff sneakers fit?
Take your usual size and compare the length of your foot with the size guide on the product page. If you have wide feet, or if you're torn between two sizes, going up a size allows more room for your toes.
Are Hoff sneakers suitable for walking all day?
They are designed for the city, with a rubber sole that cushions steps on the pavement. For long days, give the leather a little time to soften, and prefer models with a thicker sole.
Are Hoff sneakers unisex?
The brand offers models for both men and women, often in the same colours inspired by cities. Sizes available vary depending on the style: check the guide on the product page to find the exact match.
Can you machine wash Hoff sneakers?
This is not recommended: water and the heat from the drum warp the leather, stiffen the suede, and can detach the sole. Hand cleaning, using a brush and a damp cloth, preserves the pair much longer.
How do you fix a water stain on suede?
Allow the shoe to dry at room temperature, stuffed with paper, then brush the nap in both directions to even it out. A persistent ring often fades by lightly moistening the entire area before drying again.
