Every pair of Jibs features a proprietary leather that is 98% biodegradable and composts in under 200 days (as per in depth testing with RBT chemical industry). Typical leather is 30% biodegradable and composts in 50 years!

How? We use genuine Brazilian leather (byproduct of the meat industry) which is treated with a special non-toxic blend of chemicals to relax the leather and allow it to biodegrade quickly when disposed of after use, creating less overall long term waste on the earth. During this process we also ensure a great reduction in total water usage compared to traditional chrome leather tanning.

We are super proud that our tannery is a member of the Leather Working Group (LWG) a not-for-profit organization responsible for the world's leading environmental certification for the leather manufacturing industry. The LWG is also 1 of 6 sustainable certified organizations recognized by Zappos Goods for Goods program we are actively involved in.

From the very first prototype, we knew there really is magic in the diamond. With our customized diamond perforation, our shoes are odor free, anti-sweat and react to your body temperature, so they’ll keep you warm in the cold and cool in the heat. On top of that, this perforation allows the leather to stretch in only the areas of the foot that needs it.

We knew we wanted a natural material to stand on (the insole) as this is most grounding to keeping our feet healthy, and our bodies healthy, since we're on our feet all day.

After A LOT of R&D, we landed on a memory foam + moisture-wicking natural cork insole for an odor free, ultra comfy experience. Our insole has “neutral” arch support, but fully removable, to allow for you to use your own orthotics/ higher arch insoles.

Our special diamond perforations stretch as much, or as little, allowing for a unique fit to your exact foot shape. Jibs intentionally fit large in order for the un-lined soft Brazilian leather to naturally stretch and take on the unique shape of your foot. See our sizing page for more info and guidance.

Our proprietary footwear marries flexibility and softness with a touch of stiffness to make the most comfortable quality shoe. Jibs already has that worn-in feeling straight out of the box, so it takes less time to get a super comfy fit. Our designs are all ones that are flexible and you can slip into - so you can slip on and go. And have a nice day.
