We do not only make our shoes because we love to barefoot ourselves, but also because we care for nature and the people who make our team. Find our why we do what we do. Mindful Choices We don’t just make our shoes because we love the feeling of being barefoot. We care about the environment, health, and—dare we say—soul. That’s why we use recycled leather, craft our shoes with leather soles that allow grounding, and design them to feel like a second skin. Let’s explore that a little more together. Barefoot Benefits Benefits of being barefoot Being barefoot isn’t always ideal, due to hygiene concerns, painful surfaces, and possible curious looks! Since our shoes are made entirely from soft, flexible leather, they not only feel like you're still barefoot but also allow your feet to maintain their natural shape. And that’s great, because being barefoot comes with many health benefits: It stimulates acupressure points on the soles of your feet, which improves blood flow, reduces tension, and supports internal organ function. It also helps promote overall balance and relaxation throughout the body. Source: Traditional Chinese Medicine: Foot Reflexology . Supports natural foot development by allowing toes to splay and muscles to strengthen. Regular barefoot activity can increase your foot width, enhancing stability and balance. Children who grow up barefoot often develop higher, more pronounced foot arches, with the result of better foot mechanics and reduced risk of flat feet. Source: Growing up barefoot influences the development of the feet Research shows that habitual barefoot walking can enhance body awareness, porsture and coordination over time. Source: Long-Term Effects of Habitual Barefoot Running and Walking Connecting with natural surfaces allows grounding. More about that just below! Leather soles for grounding Our unique leather soles are made entirely of leather and measure just 1.6 mm thin. High-quality leather sole allows conductivity, and therefore allows you to keep connected to the earth, also called grounding, when you walk or stand on natural surfaces like soil, sand, or grass. This is unlike synthetic or rubber soles, which block natural conductivity. Grounding a great variety of health benefits, just to mention a couple: Reduce inflammation Improve sleep Lower stress levels and cortisol Support immune function Increase energy levels Source: Earthing: Health Implications of Reconnecting the Human Body to the Earth's Surface Electrons Leather Soles Recycled leather Reused leather for sustainability Every few months, we source our leather by collecting offcuts from upholstery shops here in Cape Town, and as you can see, that makes us super happy! We use this leather for the upper and and backparts of our shoes. Those high-quality materials would otherwise go to waste, and now we give them new life. This approach means: Less leather ends up in landfills We reduce the need for new materials Each pair is one-of-a-kind and a limited edition By choosing Earth Sole, you're helping repurpose beautiful material that would have gone unused. With hand and heart We believe that the heart of our product lies in the hands and hearts of those that make it—with skill, love, and care. That’s why we find it important to pay fair wages and to create a workenvironment where our team feels supported and appreciated, so they enjoy their work and bring their best to what they create. This mindset doesn’t stop at our workshop doors. We donate 1% of our profits to local charities, to continue the circle of giving and receiving as we believe that when we uplift others, we can all grow together!

How durable are they? Leather has proven to be very durable - the bushman and Aboriginals used to wear nothing else than leather for their shoes back in the day! When only wearing our shoes indoors, they can last a lifetime. When wearing them outdoors, limit walking them on wet pavements, as this increases the stretch of the weather and expedites wear and tear. Also, when you are d ragging your feet across the pavement while walking they will walk through much faster. Adding leather care fot the sole increases the life span of your Earth Soles. Find our leather care here , or find leather wax in your local store. Head here for more caring instructions. Can you wear them outside? Although they can serve as comfortable house slippers, we originally made our Earth Soles for outdoor wear. Though, try to not wear them on wet pavements as this can act like sandpaper on the leather sole, causing it to wear faster. Additionally, the leather might stretch and lose its shape with frequent outdoor use. When this is the case, you can simply throw them in the washing machine at 60 degrees and dry them naturally and not in direct sunlight. They will go back to their original shape. Find here more information about the care for our Earth Soles. Our Prices How do we get to our pricing? We understand our pricing may seem high for a simple product, but several factors contribute to it. Each shoe takes about 2.5 hours to make, with a unique pattern crafted for every size to ensure the perfect fit—a process that took a year to reach perfection! And up till this day, we continuously work on improving our product. Lastly, we like to donate a part of our funds to charities. Head to our About page to find out more. Fitting How do they stretch? Earth Soles can stretch about 10%, and they'll adapt to your feet over time. Wear them, let them mold to your foot shape, and enjoy that perfect fit as they become uniquely yours. Be aware that they will stretch faster when they are wet. To ensure the perfect fit from the start, head to our Size and Fit Guide . When your shoes have stretched, you can either wash them and dry them naturally, they will turn back to their original shape. Also, we can advise our sheepskin insole , to fill up your shoe in comfort. Can you suit our Regular Fit? Our regular shapes from The Collection and Custom Fit will fit best for those with medium-wide feet and a pointed toe box. Head to our Sizing Guide for more information. If your feet are exceptionally slim, wide, or have unique dimensions, consider our Custom Fit option. How are our Earth Soles meant to fit? Our shoes are designed to snugly embrace your feet, providing a second-skin feel. Initially, they may feel slightly tight. Wear them indoors for a day or two; they will mold comfortably to your feet. Once they fit comfortably, avoid getting them wet to prevent further stretching. If the shoes feel too tight and painful, please contact us without further scratching the soles. Our leather What does repurposed / recycled leather mean? For our top and back parts, we use 100% recycled leather. This is leather that local upholstries in Cape Town no longer use. We select the best colors and quality, and add them to our designs. This makes our shoes not only sustainable, but also all designs a limited choice! Our eco-friendly practices reduce the environmental impact of our footwear, and we are committed to continuing our efforts toward a greener future. Head to our blogs to read more about us using repurposed leather. Grounding & Health How do Earth Soles keep you grounded?

Get in touch if you would like some more guidance. More What if you're not used to walking barefoot? If you're not used to walking barefoot, transitioning can take some time. The key is to start slow, giving your feet time to adjust. Begin by walking barefoot on soft surfaces, gradually increasing the duration as your muscles adapt. And we know that going fully barefoot isn’t always practical, plus not everywhere as social accepted! That’s why our shoes are designed to feel as close to barefoot as possible while still protecting your feet with our thin, flexible leather soles. They let your feet move naturally—helping you ease into the barefoot lifestyle comfortably and effortlessly. And to make the transition even easier, we offer sheepskin inners than will offer soft support, besides warmth for the soles. How do Earth Soles manage water? It is best to keep your shoes as dry as possible, as they will stretch less fast. Also, when they are wet and you walk on asphalt, asphalt will turn into sandpaper for your leather soles, which decreases durability. If they do get wet, just let them air dry and out of direct sun. How should you care for your Earth Sole shoes? For regular maintenance, you can simply wipe your Earth Sole shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and stains. If they need a deeper clean, they are machine washable up to 40 degrees. Allow them to air dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight. Also Beeswax would work well to add to the sole, to keep your leather nice and moisturized. Find our leather care at our webshop, or at your local footwear store.
