Tapir Schuhpflege

Tapir Schuhpflege

Not long ago, we discovered Tapir and their outstanding shoe‑cleaning and shoe‑protection products.

Crafted in Germany by a family‑owned business with a strong commitment to natural ingredients, their range impressed us from the very first test. As an added delight, the products feature a remarkably pleasant scent – something rarely found in cleaning and care items.

We’re excited to share that Tapir products are now available in our shop.

It was a pleasure to explore El Naturalista’s latest collection at the FOM in Spreitenbach here in Zürich.

Ruedi and his team dedicated generous time to us and offered an insightful preview of what is on the horizon — and it is genuinely exciting. With its new line of Barefootshoe footwear, El Naturalista is poised to make a meaningful impact on our upcoming selection of high‑quality, versatile, and fashion‑forward shoes.

We’re BACK from our Annual Winter Break and it Finally feels like Winter (from 20 years ago) when the average temperature for awhile would be around-5 and some snow would allow for days of local sledding on our Uetliberg.

To Celebrate this most nostalgic weather, we’re starting off the New Year with a Sale for you.

Welcome to our new Models From Fleeters

 

We got to know the owners and founders of Fleeters at the first European Barefoot Shoe Convention and were impressed by their energy and innovation. Their Shoes are an excellent addition to our collection.

Their Shoes are well cushioned for longer city walks, the laces can be adjusted for higher insteps and the Toebox is middle sized.

The new Models Mango Brown, Mango Green and Mango Sand & Wine are a joyful selection.

Fleeters is a barefoot shoe company committed to the slow fashion movement, emphasizing ethical, high-quality production within Europe and the use of eco-conscious materials.

European Production

  • Design and Manufacturing: Fleeters shoes are designed in France and handcrafted in workshops in Portugal, which ensures ethical working conditions and high-quality detail processing.
  • Traceability: The company prioritizes a traceable supply chain, working with partners like BCome to monitor the process from raw material transport to manufacture, minimizing environmental impact and waste.

Materials Used

Fleeters uses a blend of recycled and bio-based materials to combine function with sustainability:

  • Recycled Materials: The shoes incorporate a significant amount of recycled content, including materials made from recycled PET bottles.
  • Bio-based and Natural Fibers: The company integrates various natural and plant-based materials:
    • Organic cotton
    • Bamboo fibers
    • Grapeskin and cornskin (used as leather alternatives in some models)
  • Outsole: The thin, 5mm zero-drop sole is flexible, durable, and provides maximum ground feel.

Overall, Fleeters aims to provide a sustainable and healthy footwear option by utilizing responsible materials and production methods.
