Clae

A good shoe can make an outfit. Clae knows the value of the classic, vintage, silhouette shoe and how it can complement your outfit, mood, adventures and overall approach to your day. Each step you take with a CLAE shoe comes with the knowledge that the construction takes the environment into consideration by using materials, processes and approaches that meet the desire to take care of our planet while taking care of our feet. They rethought the boundaries of conventional fabrics and textiles using recycled materials, vegan or high-quality leathers, and renewable energy all while creating a vintage shoe using decades of wisdom from the streets of Los Angeles with the drive of a youthful determination. Their collection is inspired by their fascination of the City of Angels and the many facets it holds while their production holds true to the desire to take care of our planet.

We love that CLAE uses timeliness designs while putting renewable energy, like solar and wind, 100% recycled water and natural light into their production process. They also use recycled fiber yarns from plastic bottles and finishing nets for their canvas sneakers, vegan leathers or tanneries with Low Impact to the Environment (LITE) for their natural leathers materials. All of their shoes are handcrafted making every step feel like a movement in the right direction.
