Our story began in 1924, when Johannes Dirksen started making children's shoes in the workshop behind his house. The craft grew; by the mid-sixties, we expanded our range to include men’s shoes, slippers, and sandals. A crucial step followed in 1977 when Neskrid shifted its focus entirely to the production of work and safety footwear. The next milestone came in 2013 with the acquisition by Joost Pijnenburg. Under his leadership, Neskrid further specialised in the complex field of regulations and legislation surrounding work and safety footwear, combined with orthopaedic solutions.

Neskrid is a unique company that continuously innovates and automates. Thanks to the perfect synergy between our own factory in Portugal and our team of expert staff in the Netherlands, we are always aware of the latest market developments. This enables us to consistently guarantee an exceptionally high quality of our products and service. Today, Neskrid is recognized in Europe as a hallmark for certified, multifunctional orthopaedic footwear solutions. Our ultimate goal? To ensure that everyone can work and walk safely and healthily. We achieve this by offering a broad and deep range of footwear solutions, with or without the necessary orthopaedic adjustments.

In addition to our expert personnel, we set ourselves apart with our self-developed ordering system: NOCS. This system gives you, the foot specialist, full control: you can personally configure the footwear for the end-user. This always results in a guaranteed perfect fit, precisely tailored to the needs of your client. To safeguard the health and safety of the end-user, we conduct ongoing rigorous testing on all our products. Naturally, all our solutions are certified and bear the mandatory CE marking.
