We at Valfrids have personally used their shoe products for over 15 years. We are particularly fond of the fact that they do not contain petrochemical solvents or other aggressive chemicals. We appreciate their craft-oriented and extremely quality-conscious philosophy.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Tapir has always relied on natural raw materials. Each individual ingredient, whether it&#8217;s carnauba wax for shine, lanolin for protection or nourishing beeswax, gives the products unique properties. Tapir&#8217;s extensive range covers everything you need for perfect care &#8211; of your home, your clothes and shoes, even your car or motorcycle.  <\/span><\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover hide-for-small x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_784141410\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 12px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"782\" src=\"https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir-1044x800.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Tapirs fabrik i Tyskland\" srcset=\"https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir-1044x800.jpg 1044w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir-522x400.jpg 522w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir-768x589.jpg 768w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir-1536x1177.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir-600x460.jpg 600w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir.jpg 1797w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_784141410 {\n  width: 84%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover show-for-small x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1967802305\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 12px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"782\" src=\"https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir-1044x800.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Tapirs fabrik i Tyskland\" srcset=\"https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir-1044x800.jpg 1044w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir-522x400.jpg 522w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir-768x589.jpg 768w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir-1536x1177.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir-600x460.jpg 600w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Fyllning-och-hus-mix-Tapir.jpg 1797w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1967802305 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #image_1967802305 {\n    width: 84%;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em>In the countryside outside Hanover, they have their idyllically located production facility.

The rediscovered recipe manuals were often more than 100 years old and turned out to be a real treasure. They teach us how nurturing products were made long ago, before the use of petrochemical raw materials. This is how people took care of their shoes, clothes and homes generations ago. A pair of shoes was carefully cared for and could last almost a lifetime. In yesterday&#8217;s care products, natural waxes, oils and solvents were the basic ingredients.      <\/span><\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover hide-for-small x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1222088742\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 24px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7-1198x800.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Tapir skokr\u00e4m anv\u00e4nds p\u00e5 en liten borste f\u00f6r att v\u00e5rda ett par r\u00f6dbruna vuxenskor i l\u00e4der\" srcset=\"https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7-1198x800.jpg 1198w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7-599x400.jpg 599w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1222088742 {\n  width: 84%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover show-for-small x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1273227786\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 24px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7-1198x800.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Tapir skokr\u00e4m anv\u00e4nds p\u00e5 en liten borste f\u00f6r att v\u00e5rda ett par r\u00f6dbruna vuxenskor i l\u00e4der\" srcset=\"https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7-1198x800.jpg 1198w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7-599x400.jpg 599w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lederbalsam-7.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1273227786 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Tapir&#8217;s founder Bodo told us at Valfrids, as an example of how careful they are with their raw materials, that they tried to buy flaxseed oil in bulk on the European market. But the quality was too inconsistent. They needed to establish contact with a grower and ensure consistent quality. So an agreement was made with a local farmer, he started growing flax and Tapir promised to buy the whole harvest. This way, they could have a direct dialog with the producer and they knew what quality they were getting. The flax is organically grown, more expensive than buying it on the open market, but it ensures the quality you want.     <\/span><\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_601254053\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 15px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Rohstoffe-mix-s-1400x467.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Rohstoffe-mix-s-1400x467.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Rohstoffe-mix-s-800x267.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Rohstoffe-mix-s-768x256.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Rohstoffe-mix-s-1536x512.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Rohstoffe-mix-s-600x200.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/valfrids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Rohstoffe-mix-s.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_601254053 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Waxes, resins, fats, oils and solvents are used, all of which are of plant origin.
