When Werner Kern founded his company in 1955, the initial focus – it was the period of the nascent "economic miracle" – was on slippers and evening shoes. But for more than 50 years, it has focused exclusively on the design, manufacture and sale of high-quality dance shoes for the dance community.

Werner Kern dance shoes are delivered from the company's headquarters in Hanau, Germany, to more than 50 countries around the world - most often to specialized stores that also offer adequate advice, such as Heller Dance. Thousands of satisfied customers have made Werner Kern one of the market leaders in dance shoes.
