German shoemaker paste "Hirschkleber" is a traditional natural glue. It is used to fix and stiffen shoe toe puff and heel counter. Furthermore, Hirschkleber can be used together with wooden pegs to build up heels. In this way, you get very thin adhesive layers between the leather layers. The heel looks more finely crafted.

Hirschkleber is ideally suited for bonding toe and heel stiffeners as well as uppers – especially leather stiffeners, but also suitable for plastic stiffeners.
Before bonding, the stiffeners are skived and then evenly coated with the adhesive. Thanks to its longer drying time, the adhesive remains flexible, making it easier to position the stiffeners precisely.
Hirschkleber does not bleed through. Drying time is approximately 15–20 minutes and can be extended by adding water. After drying, micro-cracks form, keeping the leather breathable so that moisture is not blocked due to adhesive barrier. Particularly practical: for reversible work, the adhesive can be re-wetted, allowing stiffeners to be removed with minimal residue.
