Indosole repurpose indestructible tires into the soles of some of the most durable footwear around.
The idea for Indosole was conceived on a surf trip to Bali Indonesia in 2004. A couple of young travelers were struck by the environmental issues faced by Indonesians, and inspired by an unusual pair of sandals they found there. By combining these two things, they created a unique solution to the problem of pollution in Indonesia in the form of a product that was both fashionable and functional.
With re-purposed products, Indosdole offers the most organic, toxic free and environmentally sustainable production process. There is no melting down, off gassing, or reforming of any material, just strong hands and minds.
“This was learned from a commitment to the local Balinese crafts people, the wise and resourceful artisans who taught that waste could be reimagined, transformed into something purposeful”
Repurposing is an art of transformation. This was learned from a commitment to the local Balinese crafts people, the wise and resourceful artisans who taught that waste could be reimagined, transformed into something purposeful. Through this strong relationship, thousands of tires from overflowing and overcrowded Indonesian landfills have been saved. The more tires saved, means a lower production of tire-derived fuel on the island, less landfills; and also, more shoes, more ideas, and an altogether healthier way of living
To enhance every aspect of your life, Indosole uses only locally sourced and animal free materials during its transformation of waste into fashionable and functional items. It is their dream to provide you with footwear that not only eliminates waste, but also, can give it a new life.
