Use & Durability As we all walk and wear differently, we have some advice on how to have your Earth Soles last a long time. Although leather has proven to be a durable material, it does wear through faster than rubber, and so here are some steps you can take to look after your Earth Soles: - Avoid getting them wet - Try to avoid hot, abrasive pavements and tar - Avoid scuffing your feet unnecessarily - Give them some love with some protective beeswax or Dubbin For more tips, please refer to our Care Guidelines

Our Story Our Story Earth Sole’s journey began in December 2020. At a festival on a rainy day in South Africa, founder Anouk Anansi was handed a piece of repurposed leather by a friend. Inspired by the concept of grounding and the wish to connect with the earth’s energy, the idea for Earth Sole shoes was born—a natural, handmade shoe through which sole you would stay connected to the ground. Although started as a personal project, these unique shoes gained interest wherever they were worn, and the realization grew: more people were interested in a shoe that would feel like wearing no shoes at all! In May 2022, Anouk decided to give it a go, and started to spend countless hours perfecting the fit with feedback from people at markets and events. Today, our footwear is proudly crafted by a small, talented team of artisans who work from their homes in Cape Town. These beautiful, handcrafted shoes have since found their way to nature and barefoot enthusiasts around the world. Thank you for being part our journey! Our Mission Our Ethics Earth Sole is a small-scale brand built on a few core beliefs: . Sustainability : We use repurposed leather for all uppers and back parts. Also, our shoes are made to order, reducing waste and avoiding excess stock. Ethical Labor : We ensure fair wages and good working conditions for our team. Quality over Quantity : We focus on creating durable, high-quality shoes rather than producing in large volumes. Each pair takes around 2.5 hours to make Giving Back: We believe in sharing our success by supporting others. 1% of our profit is donated to local charities. More Our Benefits Free souls deserve free shoes. Discover our benefits, for heart and sole. 𓇣 Free Feet : Our shoes maintain the natural contours of your feet, allowing them to spread.

Production Process Production Process Our production process is about 2.5 hours of dedicated handwork. Learn how our Earth Soles come to life! Prepairing your order Our studio is a hub of activity as we pack orders, often working with 15 to 30 different colors. We maximize every scrap, and combine even the smallest pieces to create shoes for shops and orders. Phase 1 Once the leather arrives at our skilled craftswomen's homes, they cut it according to the custom or regular patterns. They glue the pieces together and create holes for stitching. The time spent varies based on the shoe's size and complexity, ranging from 1 to 1.5 hours. Watch the how-to video below! Phase 2 Phase 2 involves stitching the shoes using waxed thread. We use pliers to ease the process and ensure precision. This process takes about 1 hour. Packing & Shipping Before they embark on their journey, we pack them with your shoe bag (also made with repurposed fabric), ready to be shipped worldwide. Charity Giving Back To continue the circle of giving and receiving, we share 1% of our profit with those incredible South African NGOs: U-Turn U-Turn empowers Cape Town’s homeless with a 2-year program for skill development and job readiness. Earth Sole’s founder, Anouk, volunteered with them for two years and knows they do incredible work! M o r e Greenpop Greenpop restores forests and raises environmental awareness in Southern Africa. At their annual Reforest Festival, they’ve planted over 150,000 trees! We’ve attended and highly recommend it. M o r e
