ALLROUNDER

ALLROUNDER: Freedom‑Driven Footwear for Life on the Move

At the turn of the 21st century, former MEPHISTO founder Martin Michaeli saw an opportunity. In 2001, he launched ALLROUNDER by MEPHISTO—a fresh, urban‑hiking inspired label designed specifically for a younger, adventure‑seeking generation.

The vision?

“Footwear that blends sporty design with exceptional comfort for those who live life without limits.”

From a Bold Idea to a Lifestyle Movement

Rooted in MEPHISTO’s long‑standing reputation for craftsmanship and innovative design, ALLROUNDER quickly carved its niche. Drawing on MEPHISTO’s celebrated SOFT‑AIR Technology—a shock‑absorbing system encapsulated in every shoe—ALLROUNDER models delivered dynamic flexibility and joint protection in an active lifestyle context.

By 2002, the brand fully embraced its outdoor‑ready identity, showcasing collections built around speed lacing, grip profiling, breathability through ALLRO‑TEX, and ergonomic Active Suspension soles. Each feature was engineered to empower wearers—urban wanderers, trail hikers, everyday explorers—with stability, energy return, and protection across varied terrain.

A Culture of Versatility & Design

ALLROUNDER’s spirit is stylistic freedom grounded in technical performance. Whether it’s the sleek SCARMARO with side‑zip entry and velvet/textile upper, or the rugged ALLRIGHT‑TEX built for grip, stability, and soft-feel comfort, every model reflects the brand’s ethos: “ready for everything” ﹘ go anywhere, do anything with grace and ease.

Built on Legacy, Innovating for Tomorrow

With over four decades of shoemaking expertise behind it, MEPHISTO gave ALLROUNDER a foundation no newcomer could match. But ALLROUNDER also embraced renewal—targeting a modern clientele that values versatility, self‑expression, and movement. The result is a global presence in hundreds of stores and thousands of wearers choosing durability and style in cities and trails alike.

Why ALLROUNDER Matters

Comfort meets adventure: The combination of SOFT‑AIR cushioning and Active Suspension ensures every step absorbs shock, yet remains energized.

Technical, yet wearable: From ALLRO-TEX membranes to grip‑profile soles, each feature is purposeful—helping wearers stay dry, balanced, and supported.

Versatile aesthetics: Sporty, modern design doesn’t compromise on comfort—Allrounder shoes work as well in an urban setting as on light trails.

Craftsmanship with heart: Outcome of MEPHISTO’s legacy, refined for a new audience looking for freedom, flexibility, and function.
