Shoes & Sneakers at Behind The Pines Amsterdam
At Behind The Pines, we have always believed that a good pair of shoes does more than complete an outfit. The right pair supports the way you move, travels with you through changing seasons, and becomes part of your everyday rhythm. That is exactly how we build our Shoes & Sneakers collection.
We curate every brand and every product ourselves. Nothing is added by chance. We only choose the models, materials, and colourways we genuinely appreciate and would wear ourselves. Our collection is built around products we trust, styles we relate to, and footwear that fits the Behind The Pines lifestyle.
That means a balance of function, comfort, and understated style.

A Curated Selection of Shoes & Sneakers
Our footwear collection brings together an unconventional mix of brands that share our view on design and purpose. We look for labels that create products with character, quality, and long-term value, not short-lived trends.
Expect a refined selection of:
- Premium sneakers for daily wear
- Technical shoes for travel and movement
- Trail-inspired silhouettes with urban versatility
- Durable boots for changing weather
- Clean everyday footwear with timeless appeal
Our collection includes carefully selected models from brands like Karhu, Mizuno, Saucony, VEJA, and Vans, alongside outdoor-inspired footwear from Merrell, Danner, and Flower Mountain.
Every pair is selected to work across different settings, from city streets to weekends outdoors.
Chosen for Performance and Everyday Use
We love shoes as functional products, but also as style pieces. That is why every model in our collection needs to perform in both areas.
We pay attention to details such as:
- Comfortable cushioning and support
- Reliable grip and outsole traction
- Quality suede, leather, mesh, and technical fabrics
- Weather-resistant construction where needed
- Strong shape, fit, and lasting comfort
- Easy-to-wear colours that age well
Many of the sneakers and shoes we select borrow technology from trail running, hiking, and outdoor performance footwear. Better cushioning, stronger grip, lightweight materials, and waterproof membranes all contribute to footwear that simply performs better during daily use.
These are shoes made to be worn often, not left in a box.
Independent Brands, Better Choices
As an independent store in Amsterdam, we are free to select only what we stand behind. We are not interested in overcrowded collections or products chosen only because they are popular.
Instead, we focus on brands and models that feel authentic to us. Footwear with a clear identity, smart functionality, and design that lasts beyond one season.
Many styles in our collection also use recycled materials, responsible sourcing, or more conscious production methods.
Whether you are looking for understated everyday sneakers, technical footwear for wet weather, or durable boots that can handle year-round wear, we believe good footwear should quietly improve daily life without trying too hard.
