What to know about Rombaut

Animal-free by construction, not substitution

Every shoe is built from plant and recycled inputs — coconut fibre, cork, hemp, natural rubber and bio-based leather alternatives — rather than conventional leather.

Shaped like fashion, not eco-footwear

The line reads avant-garde first: chunky sculptural sneakers and boots plus slim barefoot silhouettes in muted earth tones with raw, unfinished surfaces.

High prices, designer-channel distribution

Founded in 2013 by Belgian designer Mats Rombaut and based in Paris, it sells at high price points through its own channels and multi-brand retailers such as SSENSE.
