Austrian barefoot shoe retailer files for bankruptcy

Bankruptcy proceedings opened against "Schuhe wie barfuß Handels GmbH" in Feldkirch

Bankruptcy proceedings were opened on July 2nd at the Feldkirch Regional Court against the Austrian company Schuhe wie barfuß Handels GmbH, based in Feldkirch. The proceedings were initiated at the request of a creditor. At the time the proceedings were opened, the company employed five people.

Conflicting information exists regarding the causes of the insolvency. While KSV1870 is still investigating, other sources report that outstanding social security contributions could no longer be paid despite reminders and enforcement measures. No restructuring application has yet been filed. Whether the business can continue operating will be decided later in the proceedings. The insolvency administrator is attorney Dr. Gerhard Scheidbach.
