SHOES

Sustainably made shoes from independent brands — sandals, trainers, and everyday styles crafted with responsible materials and ethical production. Footwear worth standing behind.

Footwear with a conscience

Shoes are one of the most difficult categories to get right sustainably — combining multiple materials, complex construction, and a supply chain that is notoriously hard to trace. The brands in our footwear edit have each taken a serious approach to these challenges, whether through ethical leather sourcing, natural rubber soles, or certified vegan materials.

Brands in this edit

Salt Water Sandals have been making their iconic buckle sandals in the USA since 1944 — from water-resistant leather, built to last a lifetime. Will’s Vegan brings a rigorous approach to animal-free footwear, using sustainable materials and carbon-neutral manufacturing. Each brand has earned its place in our edit.

Buying better shoes

The most sustainable shoe is the one you wear for years rather than seasons. Prioritise quality construction, timeless design, and brands that are transparent about how and where their shoes are made. Our edit is a good place to start.
