We continue to use recycled leather and traditional techniques to create comfortable, grounding footwear.

Take care of your Earth Soles, and your Earth Soles will take care of you! Have a read through the tips and tricks we have to offer, for a longer lasting barefootwear. Use & Care Take care of your Earth Soles, and your Earth Soles will take care of you. Read our advice for longer-lasting barefootwear: Your shoes will mold to your feet over time. If they're too tight initially, wet them while wearing them for faster stretching. Once they fit comfortably, avoid getting them wet to prevent further stretching. If they do get wet, air-dry them away from direct sunlight. Keep the soles in good condition by using beeswax or Dubbin. We also sell natural beeswax to support your Earth Sole here . Try to avoid hot, abrasive pavements and tar as the sole will wear through faster Problem Solving If the waxed thread wears through, a drop of one-second glue will prevent unraveling. It can be that your Earth Soles have widened too much through wear. Watch our video to find out how to shrink them. Sometimes holes can occur. Click here to find out how to fix it.

Here is a how-to on how to fix holes in your Earth Soles. Give your Earth Soles a New Life We're sorry to hear you've worn a hole in your Earth Soles! The good news is that leather is naturally repairable, so with a little love and care, your Earth Soles can be ready for many more adventures. What you'll need A piece of strong leather (new or an offcut) that is about 2 cm larger than the hole — or large enough to cover the entire sole if you wish to add a new sole. If you choose to add a new layer to the sole, we recommend doing both the left and right sides for balance. Good quality contact glue Sandpaper A hammer (or another heavy object) A hairdryer or heat gun (optional, but recommended for a stronger bond) Instructions Cut this new leather sole approximately 1–2 cm larger than the hole or existing sole. Clean the part you want to glue, either 2 cm around the hole, or if you so wish the entire bottom of the sole. Make it rougher with sandpaper. Apply contact glue evenly to both surfaces, paying extra attention to the edges. Apply the glue neither too thick nor too thin. Wait for the glue to get tacky. Heat both glued surfaces for about 5 seconds using a hairdryer or heat gun, and keep about 20 cm distance from the leather. Carefully put the new leather on top of the hole or soles of the shoes. Hammer on the newly placed leather, paying extra attention to the edges. Leave the shoe under heavy weight for 6–12 hours. If you have chosen to add a whole new sole, carefully trim away the excess leather following the original shape of the sole. If you just added leather to a hole, this extra leather might feel odd for the first couple of days due to the added thickness, but it will wear in. Enjoy your new Earth Soles! If you have any more questions, then please get in touch. Psst... Since the end of 2025, all Earth Soles come with a double leather sole for better durability. And as one of our early customers, we'd love to thank you with 25% off your next pair . Simply use the code LetsRepair checkout. Enjoy!
