Terra Plana means Flat Land.  It looks like we live on a flat land but, as with Terra Plana products, there is a more subtle truth.  Terra Plana make a variety of sustainable products.

The Terra Plana range combines an understanding of classic shoe making with a passion for modern techniques and materials.  Reparability, lightness, anatomic design, and durability are all staples of sustainable shoe making. Terra Plana regularly re-evaluate what they can do to minimize waste and toxin use and maximize product use and love. Materials are the first way to improve sustainable practice - Terra Plana uses a variety of eco-friendly materials including chrome free leathers, vegetable tanned leathers, recycled materials, pure latex soling materials, recycled rubber soles and recycled foam foot beds. Terra Plana also introduces E-leather, an eco revolutionary leather by-product. E-leather is a unique blend of leather and textile fibers 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.

Terra Plana does not have an official code of conduct for overseas production. As a small company, they find it more effective to work directly (no agents are involved), and very closely with every factory that produces these products.  Their own team sources high quality factories that work with major brands and have professional codes of conduct already in place with regular audits.

(oh, and the shoes look great and are very comfortable too)
