  • Europe: a responsible & sustainable choice

  • According to the World Footwear 2022 Yearbook, 88.2% of shoes are made in Asia and only 2.8% in Europe. We want to be part of the 3% and prioritize the short circuit as much as possible for the design of our unisex eco-responsible sneakers.

    In addition to localization, our fundamental motivation is to respect the men and women who make our sneakers . It is essential for us that the artisans work in good conditions with wages that match their skills and reasonable hours.

We chose to manufacture our men's and women's sneakers in Portugal for 3 reasons:

  • Their expertise in shoe manufacturing, particularly eco-responsible sneakers, with their mastery of multiple manufacturing techniques including Strobel stitching with soles sewn to the upper, which ensures greater durability.

  • As a member of the European Union, Portugal has strict social and environmental regulations . Labor law is very strict and we were able to observe during our workshop visits that the artisans work in good conditions and receive attractive salaries. In addition, the country is known for the production of ecological textiles , which makes it an ideal place to manufacture our eco-responsible women's sneakers!

  • To stay local: our proximity to France allows us to transport our sneakers by truck and therefore limits our CO2 emissions.
