"JJ" is short for “jalan-jalan,” which is Indonesian slang for going out and seeing the sights. This super light and comfortable shoe was designed to be your go-to for running around town – all you need to do is lace them up and get moving! The JJ features our signature repurposed tire soles as well as voxing made from tire innertubes. What else make this versatile lace-up so special? See for yourself in our handy infographic above.

In case you missed it, last month vegan guru Ashlee Piper (of The Little Foxes) stopped by You & Me This Morning in Chicago to host a segment on back-to-school shopping.

Recently Indosole was featured in The Waterman's Pack with a mini video review of our Innertubed sandals by the founder, Mark Healey. What is a Waterman's Pack you ask? It's an awesome product subcription site, with "packs" curated every other month with the favorite products used by a respected waterman or waterwoman :) Each pack is designed to "provide tools, knowledge and motivation to log more time in the water and more fun while doing it." The Innertubed sandal was praised for its light weight, the ability to dry quickly, and how well it molded to the foot. Its an essential to any water dweller. Watch the review below:  See how easy he walks off back into his next adventure? That could also be you! The Innertubed sandal is a unisex style, so all that lightweight comfort is available to all waterpeople of the world. For men shop HERE, and women shop HERE.

We were recently highlighted in a great article by Kiva about Fashion Revolution Day, a day held to advocate for more transparency in the fashion industry and improvement of working conditions for garment workers worldwide. The article asks readers to think about where their clothing comes from, and whether they know who made their clothes. That is a concept that has always been very important to us. As a certified B Corporation we hold a high standard for our factories and offices, and value transparency in the production of our products. Read the article here.
