Family first.
With the founders of SANS MATIN being cousins, family means a great deal to them and to us as a brand. That’s why we work with family-run and owned manufacturers and suppliers.
Leave a lighter footprint.
Our bespoke outsoles are made from 60% natural tree rubber. This makes them far more sustainable than normal rubber/plastic soles from sourcing to the construction of the shoe.
30 steps before your first.
Our shoes have been expertly designed and hand crafted by shoemakers with generations of experience. There are over 30 stages in producing a single pair of SANS MATIN shoes in which over 70 people are involved.
Comfort is key.
Our triple-layered footbed acts like a memory foam mattress. These paired with our supple leathers and cushioned 60% natural rubber outsoles make sure every step you take is like walking on clouds.
