Indosole has been dedicated to repurposing old materials into new solutions since its inception. Starting with old tires, they developed a handmade process to create sandal soles and later expanded to using recycled sneaker parts. With their "Lost Sole" campaign, Indosole introduced vibrant colors and collaborations with other brands. Now, they have ventured into home goods with coasters, symbolizing the potential of giving old materials new life. Indosole offers fully customized coaster sets for brands, non-profits, events, or individuals looking for sustainable options.

Indosole is excited to introduce our latest collaboration with Vissla!  We are thrilled to have teamed up with Vissla on a special and limited edition collaboration sandal featuring our new sneaker sole technology. Vissla shares the same vision for a cleaner and greener world as Indosole and has a history of using recycled and natural materials in their clothing and boardshorts. The Indosole x Vissla sandal is truly a one of a kind piece which is now available in Vissla retail locations in the USA and Australia and online. We created a unique pair of sandals from recycled sneaker soles. Designed to maximize style while keeping the aesthetics minimal, these sandals offer a cushioned footbed with sturdy straps and toe thongs for an effortless stride. The extra grip sneaker soles are dependable for traction on any surface and will carry you forward on all your wild adventures. Each month in Indonesia, major footwear brands produce upwards of 20 million sneakers, with hundreds of thousands being discarded due to defects. Indosole’s ‘Lost Sole’ Technology recycles these lost soles and brings them to life in a comfortable, sturdy sandal that’s made responsibly and benefits the environment.  Check out our other blog post to learn more about ‘Lost Sole’ Technology and the story behind it!

Happy Fathers Day to all the amazing father figures out there! Indosole's mission is to inspire people to live a more fulfilled and conscious life with every step, and there is no one more inspiring than a father. Fathers, like mothers, are pillars in the development of a child's emotional well-being. Children look to their fathers to lay down the rules and enforce them. They also look to their fathers to provide a feeling of security, both physical and emotional. For this exact reason parents are the most important people in our society as they shape our future through their children. Every change starts with education and knowledge and passing that information down to the next generation to raise and create change makers of the future.    To all fathers (and mothers) who are raising their kids to be cautious of our environment and teaching them how to make a lasting positive change, we thank you for being the pillars of our future!   Check out last year's blog to hear what all the Indosole fathers have to say! Click here for the link What is a fathers day without some good dad jokes? What kind of sandals do frogs wear? Open toad. Why can't milk wear sandals? Because they lactose! What do you call sandals with no traction? Slip Flops Winners always wear sandals After all, you shoes, you lose       Hoping all the Fathers out there have a wonderful fathers day. You deserve it! With love,  Indosole

June is a month of loving boldly. It is a time to celebrate who you are and who you love despite of gender, identity or sexual orientation. Indosole stands proudly as an ally to the LGBTQIA+ movement and celebrates Pride Month in this respect. We believe that love knows no boundaries or limitations. Loving each other openly, without judgment is something Indosole believes in wholeheartedly. Even though spreading the word of love and acceptance is a full time commitment the entire year around, we still wanted to take part in the worldwide celebration of queerness and highlight individual uniqueness during this special month. Pride month originally originated in celebration of gay people. As time progressed and more queer people felt empowered to come out, the movement became more and more diverse. What started as a holiday lasting only one day was soon extended to a whole month of worldwide celebrations including pride parades, parties, workshops, concerts and memorials for victims of hate crimes or HIV/AIDS with millions of participants. Pride month, as a celebration of love and acceptance, welcomes everyone willing to support the community. Whether you are cisgender and straight or the queerest color of the rainbow, everybody is appreciated. Besides embracing uniqueness and love with no boundaries Pride Month also aims to shine light on LGBTQIA+ issues like gay marriage, same sex adoption and gender rights. This year for pride month Indosole has something special to share... Show your support and let your colors shine with our limited edition pride slides!  These were inspired by all the strong and proud members of the LGBTQIA+ community. We want our Indosole community to show our support and wear our colors proud and loud.  Check out our slides here!   We hope everyone takes this month to express their love and show their support to the LGBTQIA+ community. Don't forget to show your colors off this month!   With love,  Indosole
