Hi there, welcome to Earth Sole! My name is Anouk, and I made my very first pair of shoes in December '21. I had no idea so many others would fall in love with my shoes in the following year! But when it happened, I decided to make more people happy with these simple, comfortable, and natural barefoot shoes.
 

I started looking for offcuts to make our shoes in local upholsteries in Cape Town, where I lived back then — and where our shoes are still made today. I began building a dream team, many of whom are still with us. The quality and perfect fit of the shoes have been improving month by month, and I’m now proud of a shoe that feels so good that people have even fallen asleep wearing them.
 

Learn more about our shoes, team and production process at our About page, or check out our beautiful shoes from Our Collection! Ever changing, as we still — and always will — work with repurposed leather, making every pair one of a kind, just like you.

Thank you for being part of our special journey.

Anouk and the Earth Sole team.
