Terra Plana footwear combines an understanding of classic shoe making with a passion for modern techniques and materials. Terra Plana regularly re-evaluate what they can do to minimise waste and toxin use and maximise product use and love. Lightness, anatomic design and durability are all staples of their sustainable shoe making. Materials are the first way to improve sustainable practice - Terra Plana use eco friendly materials including chrome free leathers, vegetable tanned leathers, recycled materials, pure latex soling materials, recycled rubber soles and recycled foam footbeds.
Terra Plana also introduce e-leather, an eco revolutionary leather byproduct. E-leather is a unique blend of leather and textile fibres intimately 're-woven' and finished so it is practically indistinguishable from good quality leather. E-leather is produced with closed loop water usage and best practice pollution prevention methods.
As a small company Terra Plana find it effective to work directly and very closely with every factory that produces their products (no agents are involved). An inhouse team sources high quality factories that work with major brands and have professional codes of conduct already in place, with regular audits.
