Indosole
Crafted from 40% recycled tyre, 30% natural rubber, and 30% new material, Indosoles epitomize sustainability. Leveraging innovative Sole Engineered Tyre Technology (SETT), Indosole transforms recycled tyres into powder, enabling the creation of each new pair. This process ensures that their footwear not only delivers on quality and comfort but also contributes to environmental preservation by repurposing materials that would otherwise go to waste. In collaboration with talented artisans in Indonesia, Indosole refined its products and mastered the intricate art of working with tyres, a journey marked by both failures and triumphs. In 2014, the brand became a registered B Corporation, further solidifying its commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Between 2017 and 2021, Indosole experienced a surge in demand, prompting a revaluation of its processes with a renewed focus on scalability and environmental impact. Their goal was to utilize 100% of each tyre in creating what they called “The Perfect Sandal.” This endeavor entailed two years of intensive effort, during which they re-engineered their SETT tyre process and developed the ESSNTLS sandal line. The result is a sandal that not only meets economic feasibility but also champions environmental friendliness, with all sourcing and manufacturing taking place in Indonesia.
Working with recycled tyre rubber presents numerous rewards in the realm of recycling. This durable material can be shredded and repurposed into a wide range of new products. The necessity of working with recycled materials fosters creativity and innovation, pushing the boundaries of product development and inspiring the creation of remarkable items.

In Indonesia, 60% of discarded tyres are collected by factories only to be burned. Indosole has taken on the challenge of addressing this issue, recognizing that every tyre has a unique story waiting to be continued. By recycling these virtually indestructible tyres and transforming them into durable soles, Indosole offers some of the longest-lasting footwear options available, with imperfections embraced as part of the brand’s charm. As of 2022, Indosole has expanded its distribution to over 30 countries worldwide and continues to grow in Southeast Asia. With three shops in Bali and headquarters in Canggu, they strive to inspire people to engage more deeply with environmentalism while making it an enjoyable experience. Indosole’s vision is to become the world’s most responsible footwear company, producing high-quality, eco-friendly footwear for travel, adventure, and lifestyle.
