"Most comfortable, simple and stylish barefoot shoes. My feet feel so happy in them and it's great that the leather doesn't constrain my feet so they can walk naturally and connect to the earth"

Our Mission

What we stand for

We care about people and the planet, and the steps we take reflect our values:
 

𓇣 Eco-Friendly – We craft our uppers and back parts from recycled leather, minimizing waste. Plus, each pair is made to order, preventing overproduction and excess stock.
 

𓇣 Ethically Made – Our skilled artisans work in fair conditions, earning honest wages while creating every pair with care.
 

𓇣 Quality over Quantity – Instead of mass production, we focus on durability and expert craftsmanship. Each pair takes approximately 2.5 hours to make, ensuring attention to detail and long-lasting wear.
 

𓇣 Charity – We believe in the power of sharing, and donate 1% of our profits to local charities, with 1% dedicated to meaningful initiatives. Head to our About page to learn more

Get to know us

Our first barefoot shoe was created in South Africa back in 2020. Anouk, the founder of Earth Sole had just watched the documentary "Kiss The Ground", which inspired her to stay connected to the earth through grounding. However, being barefoot wasn't always ideal.
 

So, Anouk made herself a simple pair of shoes, created with recycled leather and thin leather soles. The result was her first pair of grounding barefoot shoes. In the years following, she noticed many people really liked her design and in May 2022, she made the bold decision to start Earth Sole.
 

Today, we’re proud to have a small, passionate team of shoe makers. Each pair is handmade to order, with 2.5 hours of dedicated craftsmanship. We prioritize quality over quantity and take pride in creating eco-friendly, ethically made barefootwear that naturally keeps you connected to the earth.
 

Thank you for walking this journey with us.

Anouk is the proud founder of Earth Sole
