Always and forever vegan

Made in Portugal

Materials

Upper: Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials)
Lining: Portuguese vegan suede (100% PU) – soft and comfortable against the foot, with a breathable suede texture that helps keep feet fresh
Insole: Memory foam insole over a traditional cork bed – poured into the shoe and moulded to your foot over time, so they get more comfortable the more you wear them
Outsole: Hard-wearing rubber outsole made with 10% recycled rubber – a standard profile that most cobblers can resole easily when it eventually wears

Construction & Features

Shank: TPU shank for stability and support through the arch – metal-free, so they can be worn through metal detectors
Hardware: Hidden metal eyelets that sit behind the vegan leather for a clean finish, with metal lace tips — both 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy)
Construction: Goodyear welt construction – the most respected method in shoemaking. The upper, lining and a leather welt are stitched together, then the sole is stitched to the welt, building the shoe up in many more stages than a standard glued shoe. It can be resoled again and again by any cobbler, so it lasts for years, and the welted, sealed build holds up better in wet weather
Water Resistance: Water-resistant for everyday wear – keeps you dry in rain, puddles, wet streets, and most winter conditions. Just avoid heavy saturation or full submersion.

Fit & Sizing

Width: D width fitting – a slightly wider fit with more volume than standard
Fit: Order your usual size. Half size? Wider width fittings size up, narrower width fittings size down.
Heel Height: 3.0 cm
Toe Height: 1.5 cm
Toe Shape: Round toe
Instep: Flat insole through the arch
Break-in Time: You should find these comfy straight out of the box.
