Sole Runner® Barefoot Shoes, established in 2011 and rooted in Dießen am Ammersee, Germany, specializes in creating handmade barefoot shoes that cater to a variety of needs. Their products are designed for every occasion, whether it’s for office wear, casual outings, sports activities, or even yoga and hiking. Recognizing the uniqueness of each foot, they offer shoes in three different widths, ensuring a comfortable and natural walking experience for the entire family.
Sole Runner® sets a high bar for sustainability and social responsibility. Their production is notable for its environmentally conscious approach, which includes a significant investment in a sewage treatment plant for their tannery. This move not only reflects their commitment to eco-friendly practices but also allows them to reuse water for irrigating a vegetable garden at the factory, creating a more sustainable ecosystem.
Sole Runner® is deeply committed to reducing its environmental impact in all aspects of its operations. They run a largely paperless office, significantly reducing their consumption of printing materials. In their packaging, they have innovated by using cardboard strips as filling material and designing shoe boxes that are folded, not glued or stapled, minimizing environmental strain.
Their ergonomic design, certified by the Institute for Health and Ergonomics (IGR), highlights the brand’s dedication to health and comfort. Sole Runner® shoes are not just footwear; they are a testament to the brand’s ethos of promoting natural, healthy walking, ethical manufacturing, and environmental stewardship.
