Our story
A small piece of Swiss history - for over 100 years
In 1890, the traditional Swiss company BALLY from Schönenwerd launched the now legendary and popular "Tigerfinkli" products, which are popular far beyond the borders of Switzerland.
As has been reported for generations, the shoes bring their wearers much joy, happiness and health.
Until 1937, the original Tigers were produced under the BALLY label and mainly distributed in Switzerland.

Almost every Swiss person wore a pair of original Tigerli shoes at some point during their childhood and experienced one or more adventures with them. This success story continues to this day. After all, Tigerli shoes are as much a part of Switzerland as chocolate, cows, and watches.
No one really knows for sure why the shoes are named after the famous jungle animal. But one thing we do know for certain: they remain popular with young and old alike and are a unique piece of Swiss history.
We are delighted to be able to continue writing the Tiger story together with you and thank you for your trust.
