OUR JOURNEY
The Problem
THERE IS A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF TIRE WASTE IN THE WORLD
Waste tire sit in stockyards, illegal dumping sites, and even rivers. In tropical countries tires can become breeding grounds for mosquitoes, which lead to nasty diseases like malaria and dengue fever.
IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR TIRES TO DECOMPOSE
Due to their structure, tires take thousands of years to decompose. So technically the first tyre ever made is still out there somewhere.
TIRES ARE BEING BURNED, LEADING TO TOXIC OILS AND FUMES
In developing countries tires are used as a cheap alternative for fuel. This along with tires that catch fire due to lighting storms, result in toxic oils and fumes that are harmful for human health. We need to act fast.
WE'VE FOUND THE SOLUTION WITH our TECHNOLOGY
1.5 billion tires are discarded every year.
As they're almost impossible to decompose, they're being burned as a cheap alternative to fuel.
We found a new use for these tires.
Using our SETT Sole Engineered Tire Technology, we turn these recycled tires into powder.
A new pair of Indosoles are made using these tires.
Made from 40% Recycled Tire, 30% Natural Rubber and 30% New Material.

ENVIRONMENTAL INNOVATORS
We dedicated the last 10 years to being the environmental keepers of the future. We merged artisan skill with corrective impact, developing a laborious shoemaking process that transforms tires to soles by hand. Through this analog technology and circular thinking we were able to save over 80K+ tires from landfills but looking at the exponential rate of industrial world waste, we realized we had to up our game. We set out to prevent the environmental hiccup of the future. A breakthrough technology was needed that could address mass scale. Indosole aspired to double growth while significantly reducing global negative impact.
For everyday travels and adventures. Whether you get caught in the rain, are ambling around the pool, or heading to the beach, your Indosole's will get you there even if they're wet. And they can be cleaned and dried, making them anti-bacterial.
When you put on a pair of Indosole's there's an immediate reaction to the comfort. That is the layer of natural rubber. Our rubber is ethically sourced in Indonesia, and is dyed with natural dyes with no chemical and toxic run-off into our environment.
Cruelty-free footwear do not harm or kill animals anywhere in the world. Leading us towards a greener future, Indosoles are designed and created in a way that makes them responsibly-made and overall more sustainable!
The ultimate game-changer – sandals with ergonomic support. With contoured footbeds, our Indosole range provides ultimate comfort with its superior cushioning while still being stylish enough to wear every day. It hugs the foot in all the right places, thus creating better stability.
In order to make a supple strap, that doesn't rub and can withstand all conditions, we invented ENVRO Fiber through deep R&D. A custom made fiber, it uses little water and all-natural dyes, ticking all the right boxes for our shoes.
The very thing that makes Indosole so unique is the recycled tire sole that connects your shoe to the ground you walk on. And like tires, the two redeeming features are grip and durability. Our tread is designed to provide even more traction to prevent you from slipping as you walk.
What makes Indosole's so great for the environment is the fact that we've taken waste tires that will not decompose and instead of allowing them to sit in landfills, we've been recycled tires into soles.
Indosole is a certified B corporation and it's proof that we meet the rigorous standards required. We are proud to be making footwear in a socially and environmentally responsible way!
