How do We Get There

He technology needed for this is already available, at fair costs – we just need the mind leap necessary to make things differently.

ECO BASELINE

Our shoes are eco-friendly, either during sourcing, production, using or discarding, on a large scale – at least 60%.

PARTNERS

We involve our suppliers and clients – we ask for their opinions and their ideas, we use and extend their capabilities.

Style and comfort

Comes from our regular activity (we deliver 1200 pairs/day of tubular, ströbel or cemented regular shoes).

Fairness

Comes from exchanging raw materials (replaced by cheap or free waste) for manual labor to convert waste into quality materials, increasing our workers’ wages, in an european country, binded to EU labor laws.

Resistance

Comes from choosing quality materials and intensive testing – these shoes must compare to regular shoes.

Prices

Reasonable prices come from our continuous search.

LINES

100% vegan shoes

Vegan – we deliver 100% vegan shoes, cork or fabric-based, to people that choose not to harm sentient animals.

PRIVATE LABEL

Your Brand & Ideas

Use your brand in our shoes – brand the sole, the insole, the upper, the box with your logo; develop with us your Eco concept.

Your Eco ideas can become shoes – does it disturb you that someone is throwing away his boat’s old sails? Or discard bycicle tires? We make shoes out of it – no idea is strange enough when it comes to reduce waste.
