Design is and will always be at the forefront of what we do, so this was our chance to pack everything into a shoe that we felt had been missing.
Versatility was important. Footwear should be able to take you wherever your day does. Whether that’s down the road to meet up with friends, into the forest to connect with nature, or out for a night on the town. To meet all these needs the shoes must also be durable, hard-wearing, and forgiving.
Thankfully this is where the experience and expertise of the Ahimsa team came into play. Through their knowledge and connections, we have been able to incorporate some of the latest advancements in vegan and sustainable materials into our shoes.
For example, in the place of leather, we have used a vegan microfibre material that has many of the characteristics of cowhide (minus the cow) but has the bonus of being washable, very resistant, and more eco-friendly. The outer soles of our shoes are made from natural rubber harvested from sustainably grown latex trees, reducing the carbon footprint and amount of noxious chemicals necessary.
Many of the materials used in our shoes have been created out of recycled materials and are proven to be hardy and long-wearing.
