About Indosole
Indosole was inspired by Bali.
While holidaying there, Indosole founder Kyle Parsons noticed that many of their sandals were made with upcycled motorbike tires.
Seeing this as an excellent way to repurpose waste, he decided to bring recycled tire flip flops to a global customer base.
Their black vegan sandals (although they now come in several colors) are non-slip and ready for all-terrain use without needing to squeeze into a pair of ethical boots.
They make recycled flip flops, slides, cross strapped sandals, and platform sandals for men, women, and kids.
Indosole’s Ethical and Sustainability Practices
Materials:
These utilize recycled motorbike tire soles and an equally impressive pair of straps.
Called ENVRO fiber, it’s animal-free, cruelty-free, plastic-free, lowimpact, and waterproof. And it doesn’t require a significant amount of water during production.
Supply chain & labor practices:
Most of Indosole’s supply chain is located in Indonesia, including the local garages that provide the tires.
The Certified B Corp is certainly one of the good guys when it comes to supporting local artisans with gainful employment, safe working
Community & charitable giving:
Flip flop your way to a future for all, thanks to Indosole’s contributions to Good Humans.
They define those as anyone and everyone who “spreads positivity, lives responsibly, takes care of our natural environment, and inspires others to pursue their interests and passions to the fullest.”
