Ethical Shoes for a Sustainable Future

Ethical Shoes for a Sustainable Future

SAOLA is redefining footwear with sustainable materials and ethical production. Our shoes, made from recycled plastic bottles, combine style, comfort, and eco-conscious design. Produced in ethically run factories in Vietnam, we ensure faire wages, safe conditions, and respect for workers. 

At SAOLA, our mission is clear: to create ultra-comfortable, timeless shoes made as sustainably as possible. Because fashion and eco-responsibility should always go hand in hand. 


Recycled Materials for a Cleaner Future 

Our shoes are designed using recycled materials like plastic bottles. Repurposing these waste materials not only gives them a second life but also helps reduce plastic pollution while creating stylish and durable products. 


Ethical Factories in Vietnam 

Behind every pair of SAOLA shoes are skilled hands and an unwavering ethical commitment. Our factories in Vietnam are not just production sites; they are true partners who share our values. 

 

Our commitments: 

  • Ensuring fair wages 

  • Providing safe working conditions 

  • Respecting every employee 

Total transparency: An independent audit rated our factory with a GREEN* score of 9.2/10, proving our sincere commitment to responsible production. 

 

Strategic Production to Reduce Our Carbon Footprint 

Our factories are ideally located between our two main markets: the United States and Europe. This strategic decision allows us to minimize the distance our products travel, significantly reducing CO2 emissions from maritime transport. 

 

A Human and Committed Collaboration 

For us, responsible production also means building trust with our partners. Our Product Development guru, based in Taiwan, works closely with the factory teams in Vietnam. This proximity ensures that our ethical and environmental standards are met while fostering genuine, respectful relationships. 

 

More Than a Brand, a Commitment 

At SAOLA, we’re not following a trend—we’re building a future where fashion and sustainability go hand in hand. Every purchase is a real step toward protecting the planet.
