Indosole began in 2009 with a mission to create soulful products that evoke positive emotions. Starting by handpicking discarded tires, we transformed them into footwear soles, pairing them with natural and locally sourced materials. Our designs reflect Bali's simplicity and beauty. We've always been transparent about our process, setting us apart in an industry dominated by large corporations. Since 2018, we've refined our production process, allowing us to scale while staying true to our values. We've diverted nearly 150,000 tires from landfills, giving them new life as soles for our sandals.
Today, we incorporate other waste materials that once had no plan for a second life. We believe sustainability isn't just about saving the planet—it's about enhancing human health and happiness. As a B Corporation since 2014, we adhere to the highest standards of social and environmental performance, always innovating to live better.
Our Impact
Through partnerships with organizations like Sungai Watch, Pable, The Ragam Foundation, Sustainable Surf, Handep, Ocean Folx, and Germ Cell, we highlight tangible outcomes and transparency in our operations. Indosole’s approach of transforming discarded materials into stylish, durable footwear not only raises environmental awareness but also promotes scalable and accessible methods that can be replicated globally. This holistic approach sets a powerful example for businesses, advocating for broader systemic change towards a sustainable future.
Our Commitment
As a B Corporation since 2014 and a member of 1% For The Planet, we follow guidelines and principles grounded in frameworks like the B Corporation, The Higg Index, and Circular Economy principles. We're pursuing further certifications like Climate Neutral and Global Recycling Standard.
