Where in Berlin can I find classic German Army Training Shoes?

Another option is the shop at the Bundeswehr's own clothing store on Gardeschützenweg, near the U-Bahn stop at Krumme Lanke. It's a bit of a trek from Charlottenburg, maybe 30 minutes on the U3, but it's the actual military supply outlet so the prices are lower than the tourist shops, usually around 25 euro. They have the standard gray version with the green sole and you can definitely try them on before buying. If you want the exact same ones soldiers get issued, this is where they come from.

there's also a spot called asmc on nürnberger straße near u augsburger straße, they stock the original bundeswehr trainers and usually have a few sizes to try on. it's a bit more of a military surplus vibe than the ku'damm tourist shop, prices are fair too like 30-40 euro. from charlottenburg just take the u1 to augsburger straße and it's a two minute walk

honestly just head to the Bundeswehr shop at Kurfürstendamm 42, it's a bit touristy but they have the real deal in stock. they're called "Bundeswehr Turnschuhe" here if you ask, the classic gray ones with the green sole. if u want the proper vintage ones check out the flea market at Mauerpark on Sundays, there's a guy near the main entrance who always has a box of them for like 15-20 euro. Charlottenburg to Ku'damm is just a quick walk or one stop on the U7, so pretty easy

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
