Inspired by ecological survival, TERRA PLANA believes in a variety of non-generic products supporting ideas of sustainability: lightness, anatomic design, disassembly and durability.

We at TERRA PLANA regularly re-evaluate what we can do to minimize waste and toxin use and maximize product use and love.

TERRA PLANA tries hard to use a variety of eco-friendly materials and innovative minimal glue constructions. Shoes that are good for you, shoe made from recycled materials, the minimum shoe. The totally sustainable shoe is still a long way off but with each collection we get that little bit closer.

Shoes that respect traditional shoe making ­ using stitched constructions to minimize glues and modern technology to create greater levels of lightness, flexibility and durability.

VivoBarefoot Technology strengthens the muscles in your feet, realigns your posture and stimulates sensory perception. They give you all the protection of normal shoes and health benefits of going barefoot.

There are recycled elements in every TERRA PLANA shoe whether it be the sole, upper or the trim. Recycled PET bottles for mesh, recycled rice husks for soling materials, recycled leather and recycled foam for footbeds.

TERRA PLANA are proud winners of the Observer Ethical Fashion award last year and have recently picked up an award from Drapers for Ethical Retailer of the Year.

TERRA PLANA has stores in London, New York, Vienna and Ljubljana, and distribution in over 30 countries Worldwide.
