Leather

Leather is a by-product that has been used for centuries to make footwear, apparel, and accessories. Leather is strong and durable and when treated right, can last for a very long time.

In 2022 over 99% of our sportswear footwear and 100% of our workwear footwear use leather from  LWG certified suppliers. We have phased out the use of leather in apparel, using substitution materials for all applications in apparel today. We are still using leather in shoes and gloves, where the properties of the material can be utilized in full.

All the leather and suede in our sportswear shoes come from certified tanneries audited by the Leather Working Group. Our leather volumes are relatively small; however, we do recognize the environmental impact and animal welfare concerns related to leather and are currently working closely with our suppliers to ensure a transparent and responsible supply chain.
