Redefining Shoemaking: Our Leap into Comfort and Ethical Fashion

More Than Footwear

At ə’serdiv, our shoes are more than just stylish looking. They're at the crossroads of podiatry smarts, ethical craftsmanship, and green-thinking. Slip on our shoes and, guess what? You're part of a movement. A big leap towards Ethical Footwear and putting Foot Health First. 

We pour loads of effort into every shoe—no secret there! (Think Orthopedic-Friendly vibes meets Cruelty-Free Fashion.) Neuropathy? We've got your back (or should I say your feet?). Because here, comfort isn't just a nice-to-have—it's key.

And our standout feature? It has to be our Italian-Made AppleSkin. It's a game-changer!

AppleSkin: Not Your Ordinary Material

Leather that's not leather but still sort of feels like it... and is super kind to the planet? Yup, that's AppleSkin®

Crafted in the picturesque orchards of Northern Italy, the revolutionary process arose as a solution to the prevalent issue of apple waste generated by the region's famed apple production of ciders and juices. It signifies our commitment to Ethical Footwear crafted without compromising on aesthetic appeal or enduring quality.

Why AppleSkin® Rocks (Sustainability-wise)

Using apple pomace (fancy word for mushed-up apple bits), they're spinning what used to be trash into textile treasure. What's that mean for CO2? Big drops. What's it mean for the planet? Big wins. Think USDA and PETA thumbs-up.

Supercritical—Eva Foam: Total Game-Changer

Then there's Supercritical Foam. This stuff is like the foam of the future, pumped up using some sci-fi tech that makes it extra squishy, toasty, and tough.

Why Supercritical Eva Foam is the Bee's Knees

Comfy? You bet. Warm? Oh yeah. Lasts forever? Almost feels like it. It’s the secret sauce for shoes that are Orthopedic-Friendly and life-proof.

Wearing it Well

Our Supercritical Foam insoles are in every closed-toe style we craft. It's literally the thing that propels you, whether you're on the morning coffee run or just waiting endlessly on your feet during the morning commute.
