Why this sells

Not another factory shoe — and your customers can tell in the first minute.

  • Rare on any shelf. Hand-stitched barefoot leather, made to order in one atelier — not a catalogue SKU every competitor can list.
  • True barefoot. Zero drop, a wide toe box, a sole thin enough to feel the ground — the mechanics customers now search for by name.
  • Leather inside and out. Feet breathe and don’t sweat; no synthetics anywhere, so grounding conductivity is never broken.
  • Copper grounding. A solid copper rivet passes through the leather sole at the ball of the foot. With no synthetic layer anywhere in the shoe, it keeps a conductive path between the foot and the ground — the reason earthing-minded customers look for this model.

Who buys this — and how to sell it

  • Lead with the sole. One photo of the buffalo sole and the copper rivet does more than a paragraph — it’s the proof it isn’t a factory shoe.
  • Offer sizing help before checkout. A one-line “send us your foot length” removes the only real hesitation.
  • Show the second colour. Repeat buyers come from seeing the same model in another leather next to the first.

Returns, exchanges & what to tell your customer

We make each pair to order, so we don’t take returns for change of mind. Any production defect is remade free, no discussion. Sizing is the one thing that sits on your side: measure the foot with the before ordering, and consider offering your own customer an exchange — an unsold size rarely stays unsold for long.

Worth telling your customers, in your own words:

  • Every pair is a little different. Grain, tone and stitch spacing vary from pair to pair because each one is made by hand. Customers who know this in advance see it as the point, not a flaw.
  • Leather softens with wear. A snug first day is normal; firmer leathers ease by about 2 mm in the first week, softer ones by around 5 mm.
  • The sole is leather. After rain, let it dry naturally, away from radiators. Looked after this way it lasts for years.

What partners ask

Can I order just one pair to see it?
Yes. Add it to the cart like any order — one pair, your size, your address. It ships the same way a customer order would, so you see exactly what they’ll receive.
What goes on the box and inside the shoe?
Your logo, laser-engraved on the insole, and a plain white-label box. At the order step we’ll ask you to upload your logo; if you prefer, you can choose no logo at all.
What if my customer’s size doesn’t fit?
Sizing is handled by you, as part of your own customer service. Please publish our size guide and measuring instructions on your store exactly as they are, and advise your customers with them in mind. Feet differ, and not every customer measures accurately, so a small number of exchange requests is normal in footwear — around 5–10% across the industry. It’s worth allowing for this in your pricing and your exchange policy.
How long until my customer has it?
Single pairs and samples: 5 business days to make, then usually 7–9 days in transit to Europe or the US, DDP.

Sample product description for your storeWritten for your customer — paste it into your listing as is, or edit freely.

Casual shape, uncompromising construction.

This one is Russet — a warm reddish brown with visible depth in the grain. Antique-finished calfskin, hand-burnished at the toe and heel so the colour sits deeper at the edges than across the vamp.

Laces to the toe for a fit you can adjust as your foot swells through the day.

  • Drop — zero, heel to toe
  • Toe box — anatomically wide, no taper at the little toe
  • Outsole — 5–8 mm recycled buffalo leather, hot-pressed traction pattern. Grip without rubber, so grounding conductivity stays unbroken
  • Grounding — copper rivet set at the K1 acupressure point
  • Insole — 1 mm buffalo leather
  • Lining — calfskin, not lambskin
  • Construction — hand-cut and hand-stitched, iconic perimeter stitch
  • Sizes — US men's 6–14, half sizes throughout

Every pair is made to order by hand in Gaziantep. Nothing sits in a warehouse. Available to stock or dropship under your own brand — wholesale from ten pairs, dropship from one, delivered duty-paid.

For retailers

  • Who stocks it — Everyday and travel-focused retailers; the model customers choose when they want barefoot benefits without a barefoot look.
  • How to position it — Position it as the sneaker with no foam, no drop and no plastic: just leather. Russet is a warm reddish brown with visible depth in the grain.
  • Range logic — Ranges well with the Chukka in the same leather.

Questions retailers ask

Can it be resoled?
Yes. A leather sole can be resoled by any cobbler, unlike a foam sneaker.

What is the wholesale minimum?
Ten pairs, mixed across models, leathers and sizes. Complete a carton and $10 comes off each pair at checkout.

Where is it made?
Every pair is cut and stitched to order in Gaziantep, Türkiye, in a family atelier working leather since 1950.
