The Addis is a men's everyday shoe that embodies our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices. By sourcing Wild Hide leather from small-scale farmers in Ethiopia and handcrafting the shoes in the country, we are empowering local makers and supporting their communities. The natural imperfections and unique character of the Wild Hide add to the shoe's rustic charm, making each pair a one-of-a-kind piece.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Addis features a classic lace-up design that can be dressed up or down, making it a versatile choice for any occasion. The durable rubber sole provides reliable traction and comfort, while the leather construction ensures long-lasting wear.

Our partnership with the Soul of Africa Trust allows us to reinvest a portion of the Addis' sales back into the local community, funding initiatives that create positive change and improve the lives of those involved in the production process. By choosing the Addis, you're not only investing in a high-quality, ethically-made product, but also supporting the empowerment of artisans and the development of sustainable communities in Ethiopia.
