Leather

The majority of our shoes are made of leather - nature's own technology. But not all leathers have the same properties. Through different tanning techniques and treatments, the leather receives unique qualities. Here you can read more about our different leathers and figure out which one fits your needs the best.

Chrome Free

All shoes marked with this symbol are made of chrome-free leather. Our chrome-free leathers are tanned completely without chrome and are kept separate from other leathers at tanneries and when stored. Machines used when tanning the leather must be thoroughly cleaned or only used for chrome-free production. The leathers are controlled annually by independent laboratories. Shoes made in our EP Leather (Eco Performance) are always chrome-free. We have also developed a new chrome-free variant of our popular XC leather (Cross Country) which is gradually being implemented in the rest of the collections.

Made in Europe.
Vegetable Tanned Leather

Vegetable Tanned Leather is a chrome-free leather made in Europe. The grain hide and color is natural and unique to each pair and develop a beautiful patina with time. Vegetable-tanned leather works just like your skin: when exposed to light the color changes over time which results in shoes that are one of a kind.

Care: The vegetable-tanned leather requires some extra care in order to retain its great qualities. Wipe with a damp cloth, let dry and use Kavats Eco Wax or shoe polish. Consider a tinted shoe polish to cover marks If the leather is significantly worn.
