Made to last People. Planet. Now. Always.
Sustainability - our mission
Shoes. They form our strongest, most intimate connection to the earth beneath our feet. This unique link is reflected in the care and passion we put into every pair we make, but we know that alone is no longer enough. We must do more – more to make a difference and ensure that people everywhere are able to enjoy this special connection for generations to come.
That’s why we’re doing everything in our power to be as sustainable, conscientious and responsible as possible.
It’s why we’re evolving our model, adopting a circular approach to shoemaking and dedicating ourselves to supporting communities all across the globe. No compromises. Because by lightening our footprint and closing the loop of our manufacturing process we can do more – more for our planet and more for every person that calls it home.
