Wide, narrow or regular fit?

The human foot comes in all shapes and sizes. Our sneakers are optimized for a normal or average foot width.

Comfort - supportive, not soft

The ergonomically designed cork footbed inside distributes the weight over a larger area, providing a feeling of softness and support without the need for soft plastic foams.

Flexible

The natural latex sole is a remarkable combination of flexibility and excellent grip, keeping you on firm ground while adapting to the surface.

Long laces for a controlled fit

The hiking-inspired long lacing system wraps gently around your foot and gives you precise fit control.

Lowering the heel

This sneaker has a heel drop of approximately 5mm. It is not a zero-drop shoe.

Breathable

The inside of the sneaker is made of a pure 100% hemp textile that wicks away moisture and ensures a healthy and dry environment.

We use large diameter yarns to weave a mesh structure with thousands of tiny gaps that allow water vapor to pass through and away from your feet.

The stinky foot season is over

• Odor and bacteria resistant materials ensure a healthy and dry environment.


• Cork contains a natural substance called “subherin”, which makes it resistant to odors, bacteria and fungi.


• Wool contains a natural substance called lanolin, which protects it from bacteria, water and stains.


• Our hemp is completely chemical free and naturally antimicrobial.

Low maintenance

All our sneakers are treated with a water and dirt repellent nano coating. This coating is 100% natural and completely harmless to the environment and human health.

Easy-care

Earthbound™ materials are naturally odor, bacteria, water and stain resistant and should last a long time with proper use and care.

Water repellent

All Earthbound™ sneakers feature a water-repellent coating that is completely natural and harmless to the environment, human health and any type of material.

How to care for your Earthbound™ sneakers

To maintain the beautiful color and appearance, we recommend a gentle vacuum with a soft nozzle. Pure wool is anti-static and does not attract dirt like other fabrics. The fabric is also water-repellent, so spilled liquids can only slowly penetrate the fabric.

For all dust and mud stains, allow the stains to dry and then vacuum. After vacuuming, use a clean and soft shoe brush (or toothbrush).

If there are stains, always soak up the liquid as quickly as possible with a white kitchen towel. If the stain has dried, remove as much of it as possible by vacuuming. Most stains and dirt can be removed with a commercially available pH-neutral cleaning agent diluted in lukewarm water.

Over time, white dust may form on the surface of rubber outsoles. This is a natural hardening process of the rubber, which you can remove with warm water, regular detergent and a soft brush.

Durable outsole

The abrasion-resistant compound of the outsole ensures that you can enjoy your sneakers for a long time.
