“Walking different” Begins In Your Mind
Think... Rethink... Think Ahead
“Walk different” means not thinking of walking as a mechanical means of movement from one point to another, but instead seeing walking as an opportunity to go your own way.
That’s why we’ve thought about what makes shoes comfortable. We’ve rethought our material selection and production processes. And we’ve thought ahead when it comes to design and the personalities of our shoe-wearing customers.
Allow us to elaborate:
Think! Design | Think! Fit | Think! Materials
Think! Design
Form follows function for "healthy" shoes.
"Healthy" shoes don't have to be ugly. But they may be a bit different. Different, because they refuse to slavishly follow the dictates of fashion, and instead have grown and developed from basic anatomical and orthopedic principles.
The shoes we've created following this philosophy are fascinating in their unique design, from the uppers down to the unusual, individual soles.
You either love Think! shoes or you don't. Which is good, because some people like to swim against the current of anonymous mainstream design. Perhaps a little courage is required as well. Why don't you decide for yourself?
Think! - shoes for people who don't want anyone telling them what's good for them.
Think! Fit!
If the shoe fits, wear it.
A river takes uncounted ages to carve out a bed where it may flow freely. Our feet haven't got that much time in the space of their short lives. Instead, let's put them in a bed that provides them with the freedom they need and that works together with the complex interplay of muscles, tendons and bones that make up our feet.
That's why we take the greatest care not only while crafting each model, but also when we create the last, a model for shaping the shoe. The last and the pattern determine whether your foot will feel good in the shoe or not.
And to make sure that the fit lasts for the life of the shoe, we leave the shoe on the last for several hours, in good old shoemaker tradition.
Think! - shoes for people who know that a good head has healthy feet planted firmly on the ground.
Think! Materials
Nature is as nature does.
Wherever your foot comes in contact with your shoe, we only use vegetable-tanned leather, 100% of the time in most models.
We obtain the natural tannins from ground bark extracts of plantation-planted trees. Although vegetable-tanned leather is more costly to produce and more difficult to process, its benefits speak for themselves:
- Porous, allowing your feet to breathe,
- hypoallergenic,
- moisture-absorbing
- and toxin-free (no risk of heavy metal allergies!).
Think! - shoes for people who are naturally drawn to natural materials.
