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!
