At just 6-8 oz, they're 75% lighter than typical hiking boots→ Direct earth contact reduces inflammation markers by 33% through grounding (Journal of Environmental and Public Health, 2012)

Our Commitment to Craftsmanship & Sustainability
Wild-Sourced Deerhide
Our suppliers and partners work with signature deerhide carefully selected for its exceptional qualities:
- Unmatched softness that molds to your feet
- Natural breathability for all-day comfort
- Outstanding durability that improves with age
- Complete biodegradability at end of life
Deer populations are responsibly managed in many areas to maintain balanced ecosystems, preventing overgrazing and supporting biodiversity (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2018). This approach allows our partners to source deerhide with a minimal ecological footprint, contributing to conservation efforts while creating footwear that’s gentle on the earth.
