What ekn footwear offers

Sneakers and understated leather shoes for adults make up ekn footwear's range, cut simply and at home with jeans as much as the office. Useful for families when parents want everyday shoes for work, weekends and outings with the kids.

Assessment

Partly sustainable

On material and construction, ekn footwear has a clear base: recycled sole components, vegetable-tanned or chrome-free leather and organic cotton are named across several models, and an independent rating comes out positive. What's missing for a consistently strong record is a documented framework on working conditions and supply chain. Substantively evidenced, but only partly secured.
