Walking on RICE - Yes, that's right!

If you take a closer look, you can spot the rice grains on the outsole. We're reinventing the Spanish tradition of handmade shoes by incorporating sustainable and vegan components. The rice we use is the chaff from a paella rice plantation located only 40km from our production site. We strive to minimize our carbon footprint and promote local sourcing whenever possible.
