Wide, narrow or regular fit?

Human feet come in all shapes and sizes. Our sneakers are optimised for a regular or average foot width.

Comfort — supportive, not soft

Designed by the principles of ergonomy, the cork footbed inside distributes weight along a greater surface creating a felling of softness and support without the need for soft plastic foams.

Flexible

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

Long-lacing design for a controlled fit

Inspired by hiking boots, the long-lacing system wraps the fabric gently around your feet letting you precisely control your fit.

Heel drop

This sneaker has a heel-to-toe drop of arround 5mm. This is not a zero-drop shoe.

Breathable

The inside of the sneaker is made from a pure 100% hemp textile, wicking away moisture and maintaining a healthy and dry environment.

We are using large-diameter yarns to weave a mesh structure with thousands of small gaps permitting water-vapour to pass through and away from your feet.

Stinky feet season is over

• Odour and bacteria resistant materials ensure a healthy and dry environment.
• Cork contains a natural substance called “subherin” which makes it resistant to odours, bacteria and fungi.
• Wool contains a natural substance called “lanolin” which protects it from bacteria, water and stains.
• Our hemp is completely free of chemicals and naturally antimicrobial.

Low maintenance

All our sneakers come protected with a water and stain repellent nano-coating. This coating is 100% natural and is completely harmless to the environment and to human health. This protection may wear out with usage so we recommend you re-apply the coating from time-to-time with the Earthbound™ Eco-Dry spray.

The shipping cost will be calculated at checkout. For orders outside the EU, customers will be responsible for any additional customs expenses.

All orders will be shipped within 5 working days after the payment, with 5-10 day delivery.

Low maintenance

Earthbound materials are naturally odour, bacteria, water and stain repellant. With proper usage and care they should last you for a long time.

Water Repellence

All Earthbound™ sneakers come protected with a water-repellent coating which is completely natural, perfectly safe for the environment, human health and any type of material.

How to Care for Your Earthbound™ Sneakers

To maintain the beautiful colour and appearance, we recommend gentle vacuuming with a soft nozzle. The fabric is water repellent, so spillages are slow to penetrate the fabric.

For all the dust and mud stains, leave the stains to dry and vacuum clean them. After vacuuming, use a clean and soft shoe (or tooth) brush.

For stains always soak up the liquid with a white kitchen towel as soon as possible. If the stain has dried on, remove as much of it as possible by vacuuming. Most stains and dirt can be removed using an ordinary pH-neutral detergent diluted in lukewarm water at normal strength.

Over time white dust might appear on the surface of the rubber outsoles. This is a natural process of curing of rubber and you can remove it with warm water, ordinary detergent and a soft brush.

Durable outsole

The abrasion resistant compound of the outsole is making sure you enjoy your sneakers for a long time.
