OUR BRAND PURPOSE.

The human foot is a masterpiece of nature, a biomechanical marvel. Our feet each have 28 bones - a quarter of all the bones in the human body - and are interwoven with 19 muscles and 107 tendons and ligaments. This amazingly powerful and beautiful structure is the solid foundation for our body system.

From the moment we learn to walk, we can explore the world - and along the way help those who need our support. Thanks to our feet, we can climb the highest mountains, cross deserts, dance, jump and play. Our feet enable us to challenge our limits and carry us through our lives.

About six million years ago, our ancestors began walking upright. Barefoot, of course, well into modern times. The origins of shoe making go back thousands of years and are rooted in the human need to protect our feet. As civilization evolved, our environment changed, and so did the design of shoes. In the industrial era, shoes evolved into a fashion item, but at the expense of foot health. Since that time, shoes have largely ignored the natural needs of our feet.

A FOOTBED FOR EVERYONE.

Since 1774, we have had one vision: we want everyone to have access to our footbed. Because we believe that when your feet feel good, you feel good. And we believe there are two factors that make an item a favorite: it feels great and it is made to the highest quality standards. It's that simple.
