LEATHER
Our Leather
Leather is not just leather. For many of your new ZAQQ barefoot shoes, we like to use our 2mm Premium Hunting Leather. Hunting Leather is a special type of leather and is rarely used in the shoe industry because it is very labor-intensive to produce and must be processed particularly accurately. For us, these are perfect conditions, because through our manufactory we are able to use this high-quality leather for our shoes. Another special feature: our Hunting Leather can be used on both sides.
One side has a beautiful smooth surface with a natural grain and feels particularly pleasant on the skin. The second side is similar to suede, velvety and noble in appearance with a compact structure. This makes the leather very resistant to external weather influences, water-repellent, and easier to clean.
With a thickness of 2 mm, our leather is an absolute exception in the shoe industry. Only a few manufacturers can process such strong leather at all, as this requires craftsmanship at the highest level. The stronger the processed leather, the higher the quality of the shoes. For this reason, we can also do without an additional lining, multiple layers of leather, or metal eyelets for lacing, because our 2 mm Hunting Leather is extremely tear-resistant and requires no reinforcement.
By using Hunting Leather and the mix between smooth and velvety side, each ZAQQ shoe made of Hunting Leather receives its inimitable and independent character.
Sustainability
For us as a company, environmental protection means producing with as little waste as possible and thus sustainably, relying on natural, regenerating materials and avoiding environmentally harmful chemicals. This is naturally because we are convinced of it ourselves and communicate it to our employees. What does that mean for you?
Your ZAQQ barefoot shoes are produced regionally. This saves us long and unnecessary transport routes. Through production in our manufactory, we can also ensure that no environmentally harmful or even health-damaging substances are used for production. An example of this is our solvent-free glue, the sole made of rubber, or the exclusive use of natural leather.
This is also a reason why our employees love working with us. You will ultimately find all of this in your new ZAQQ barefoot shoes – a really good feeling, right?
Since we almost exclusively use natural products, your new ZAQQ barefoot shoes are naturally biologically and ecologically recyclable. But before you think about it, you should wear them for many years first. And we are sure you will love them just as much as we do.
