The Upper Part
Leather
Our leather is a sustainable by-product of livestock farming, ensuring ethical and eco-friendly practices. We prioritize responsible sourcing and do not use exotic skins or leather from animals bred solely for their hides.
Natural Italian, Spanish and Dutch leather
- Chrome-free or chromium-tanned, meeting strict EU safety standards.
- Free from harmful substances such as formaldehyde, azo dyes, chromium VI, nickel, and other prohibited ingredients under EU regulations.

Natural vegetable tanned (processed) leather
Vegetable tanned leather is highly regarded for its durability, strength, and timeless appeal.
The leather’s breathable nature, free from synthetic coatings, allows it to absorb moisture and oils, developing a patina over time—a hallmark of quality and beauty that enhances its aesthetic and value.
Additionally, this process is environmentally friendly, relying solely on natural and organic substances.
Characteristics:
- Tanned using plant-based substances, making it chemical-free and ideal for small children and those with allergies.
- A top choice for eco-conscious individuals seeking natural, allergy-friendly, and environmentally sustainable materials.
- No color options - the shades like white, off-white, and ecru have no dye on them. The colored options tends to bleed color.
- The tanning process takes longer time which reflects in its higher price and the open-pore surface demands specific meintenance.
Wool and Sheepskin
Shoes made from pressed wool and sheepskin deliver unmatched warmth, dryness, and comfort, even in the coldest months. They are easy to maintain: handwash or use a delicate wool cycle in the washing machine, and always air dry to preserve their stretch, texture, and superior qualities.
Pressed Wool, mulesing free
Crafted from a sustainable blend of 60% recycled wool, 25% virgin wool, and 15% recycled polyester (from bottles), pressed wool boasts exceptional moisture absorption and breathability. As a natural antibacterial material, it keeps your feet warm and dry by regulating body temperature, making it a durable and eco-friendly choice for cold-weather comfort.
Sheepskin
Sheepskin combines the soft, insulating properties of natural wool with the durability of genuine leather. Its unique composition—featuring woolen fibers and a robust dermis layer—makes it an ultra-luxurious, long-lasting material that maintains its warmth, softness, and quality with proper care.

Vegan leather
100% Microfibre, which is antibacterial, breathable, eco-friendly (manufacturing system free of CO2), very resistant and free of agents harmful to health. Easy to clean with wet wipes, can be washed in a washing machine or by hand. Washable (up to 60°C), without altering its technical qualities.
Insoles
Flat (without arch support). Made of: pressed wool, sheepskin, cork, leather.
The insoles add softness, additionally insulate from cold and heat, the wool absorbs perspiration from the sock. The insole can take away from the size of the shoes. If the shoes/slippers are looser when you buy them, the insole will tighten them.
TIP: When you first put them on, the insole can move or gather in the shoe. You can secure it in the heel area with a small piece (5x5mm) of double-sided adhesive tape. This way the insole will not gather, and at the same time you will be able to remove it at a certain time.
Soles:
The sole is the most important shoe part for the foot development, this is why we will tell you all about our soles:
Type 1 Molded Soles
In 2023/2024 we invested in new molded soles with the following features and types:
Type 2 Sheets sole materials
We have been using it since the beginning, due to its endless possibilities. We cut it into certain shapes and we can make adjustments to the width of the soles from sheet material. A combination of sole sheets materials can be inserted in the one pair of shoes.
Type of materials for soles: suede and leather (for maximum barefoot feel); Vibram® rubber and crepe (outdoor shoes); microcellular rubber - EVA (indoor shoes).
The Velcro® - hook and loop fastener
When it comes to shoes, good closure is extremely important, especially when tiny little fingers play with the straps most of the time. That is why, all our products use hook and loop fasteners made by the Velcro® company (enjoy the movie).
