SORBAS Shoes

SORBAS Shoes, founded in 2015 in Berlin-Neukölln, stands for the combination of comfort, high quality, and sustainable production. The company is firmly convinced that great shoes cannot be made without responsibility towards people, nature, and animals.

SORBAS offers a variety of unisex shoe models, including classic styles such as Chelsea boots, Oxford shoes, and desert boots, as well as sneakers, ankle boots, loafers, and sandals. In addition to shoes, the range occasionally includes accessories such as backpacks or bags[2].

The main mission of SORBAS is to find ways for sustainable, local, and fair production. The company relies on traditional shoemaking craftsmanship in small, independent family businesses in Europe, particularly in Serbia, Portugal, and Greece. This approach secures the future of family businesses and supports the local population and development[2][3].

Sustainability is the core value of SORBAS. The company uses innovative, natural, and recycled materials such as waterproof organic cotton, cork, recycled ocean plastic, recycled synthetic leather, and leather tanned in Italy and Spain. These materials are not only high quality but also environmentally friendly; for example, SORBAS's sustainable sneakers and boots produce up to 71 percent less CO2 than comparable shoes[2].

SORBAS aims to further expand its range, which already consists of 75 percent vegan products, and to develop biodegradable shoes. A rubber sole that is compostable in about 500 days is already in use[2].

The design of SORBAS is characterized by minimalism and a clear aesthetic. The shoes are made in small businesses with real shoemaking knowledge, preserving traditional craftsmanship in Europe and ensuring high wearing comfort and outstanding quality[1][3].

The products of SORBAS can be purchased through their own online shop, as well as through partners like Avocadostore, Zalando, and Mirapodo. There is also a small showroom in Leipzig for offline shopping. Orders are shipped within one business day and delivered free of charge within Germany, the EU, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Switzerland[2].

With their combination of sustainable production, fair working conditions, and high-quality, innovative materials, SORBAS sets new standards in the shoe industry and offers customers the opportunity to wear comfortable and stylish shoes that also soothe the conscience.
